The penalties so imposed may be so recovered in a civil action on the statute imposing them.

The State shall not be required in any proceeding under this chapter to furnish recognizance or bond for costs, nor injunction bonds. Upon final judgment, the court may make such order relating to the payment of costs, by the State or the defendant, as it shall deem just and equitable.
