shall must be fined in an amount not to exceed two hundred dollars or imprisoned for a term not to exceed thirty days punished as provided for by county or municipal ordinance. However, no county or municipal ordinance may impose a fine of more than five hundred dollars or imprisonment for a term of more than thirty days. Penalties provided for by county or municipal ordinance may include the revocation of any license issued to conduct business as a wrecker for a period not to exceed six months."
