(a)

All violations of this article shall be prosecuted only in the court of appropriate jurisdiction which shall have original, exclusive jurisdiction to try all cases arising hereunder; provided, however, that where an act is recognized by State law as a misdemeanor and by this article as an offense, complaints against persons charged with such unlawful acts may be filed and prosecuted in the court of appropriate jurisdiction.

(b)

When and if any officer of a State agency deems it desirable and in the public interest to prosecute in the court of appropriate jurisdiction violators of State laws, rules and regulations adopted by reference herein, he shall do so with the permission of the prosecuting attorney, and may have summonses or warrants issued as he deems appropriate.
