SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Disposal of trash or cutting of weeds. Allows localities to prescribe civil and criminal penalties for violations of ordinances related to the disposal of trash and the cutting of grass and weeds. The penalties may be up to $50 for the first violation and up to $200 for subsequent violations within one year of the first violation. Total civil penalties shall not exceed $3,000 in a 12-month period. These penalties are in lieu of criminal penalties, except that localities may prescribe a Class 3 misdemeanor in the event of three civil assessments against the same defendant in a 24-month period. The bill adds these same provisions to the laws authorizing localities to restrict or remove inoperable motor vehicles on residential or commercial property.
