Bill Summary
Relative to the effective enforcement of municipal ordinances and by-laws
AI Summary
This bill modifies Section 21D of Chapter 40 of the Massachusetts General Laws by increasing the maximum fine for municipal ordinance and bylaw violations from $300 to $500. The change allows local governments to impose a higher financial penalty when individuals or entities violate local regulations, potentially serving as a stronger deterrent for future infractions. By raising the maximum fine amount, the bill provides municipalities with more effective enforcement tools to ensure compliance with local ordinances and bylaws.
