Bill Summary
As introduced, authorizes municipalities and metropolitan governments to adopt a tiered system of monetary penalties for repeated violations of the same municipal ordinance by the same person or entity within a 12-month period. - Amends TCA Title 6 and Title 7.
AI Summary
This bill allows cities and metropolitan governments in Tennessee to create a system where fines for breaking the same local rule, or ordinance, increase if the same person or business breaks it multiple times within a year. This means that repeat offenders could face higher monetary penalties for continued violations of the same ordinance, providing a graduated consequence for persistent non-compliance. The bill amends existing Tennessee Code Annotated (TCA) sections related to municipal powers, specifically TCA Title 6 and Title 7, to grant this authority.
