Every person shall be subject to the same penalty or penalties, civil or criminal, for failure to perform any such obligation or duty, or for doing a prohibited act, as if such obligation or duty arose from, or such act were prohibited in, the exercise of such right, power or duty by the officer, board, commission, or institution, or deputy, inspector or subordinate thereof, designated in the respective laws which are to be administered by departments created by this chapter. Every officer and employee shall, for any offense, be subject to the same penalty or penalties, civil or criminal, as are prescribed by existing law for the same offense by any officer or employee whose powers or duties devolved upon him under this act. All books, records, papers, documents, property, real and personal, unexpended appropriations, and pending business in any way pertaining to the rights, powers and duties so transferred to or vested in a department created by this act, shall be delivered and transferred to the department succeeding to such rights, powers and duties.
Whenever reports or notices are now required to be made or given, or papers or documents furnished or served by any person to or upon any officer, board, commission, or institution, or deputy, inspector or subordinate thereof, abolished by this act, the same shall be made, given, furnished, or served in the same manner to or upon the department upon which are devolved by this act the rights, powers and duties now exercised or discharged by such officer, board, commission or institution, or deputy, inspector or subordinate thereof; and every penalty for failure so to do shall continue in effect.
