Any person, firm or corporation who shall violate any provision
of this chapter shall, upon conviction thereof, be sentenced to pay
a fine of not less than $300, nor more than $1,000, plus costs. Each

such offender may be subject to a term of imprisonment not to exceed
30 days.
This chapter shall not be construed to be retroactive and shall
