Penalty amendment introduces mandatory minimum sanction and preserves maximum sanction, altering enforcement range under securities law. The amendment replaces provision permitting a penalty up to an established ceiling with language requiring that any penalty imposed shall not be less than a specified minimum while allowing imposition up to the pre-existing maximum, thereby creating a bounded sanctioning range with both a mandatory floor and an upper limit for the covered contravention under the Act.
