Provides that the complainant shall be informed of possible sanctions for knowingly or willfully transmitting a false report to the Department. Requires the Department to impose a civil penalty of $250 on complainants if it has a good faith belief that a complaint is frivolous, intended to harass, or intended to defraud the Department.
