of the United States;

 (B) A 
food service establishment in this State that serves both foreign imported 
shrimp and domestic shrimp must conspicuously display the following disclaimer 
on its menu, if any, and on a sign visible to the public at its main entrance: 
"Some items served at this establishment may contain foreign imported shrimp. 
Ask for more information."

 (C) A 
food service establishment in this State that serves foreign imported shrimp, 
but does not serve domestic shrimp, must conspicuously display the following 
disclaimer on its menu, if any, and on a sign visible to the public at its main 
entrance: "Some items served at this establishment contain foreign imported 
shrimp. Ask for more information."

 (1) 
for a first offense, be issued a warning by the Department of Agriculture that 
provides for a period of three days from the issuance of the warning to remedy 
the violation; and

 (2) 
for a second or subsequent offense, be issued a civil fine of no less than one 
hundred dollars and no more than five thousand dollars by the Department of
