If it's a new rule, then there would probably have to be some sort of public hearing/comment period. Isn't that why NJ's "steroid rules" were just put on hold, when the horsemen challenged the failure to abide by Open Meetings laws? If it's just a stronger penalty, then I would think the administrative agency probably has discretion to set any reasonable penalty (of course, that can be in the eye of the beholder).
