AI Summary
This bill requires cities with a population over 65,000 to operate a "Municipal Criminal Court of Record," which is a type of municipal court that handles violations of city ordinances and has specific legal procedures. The bill also increases the maximum penalties these courts can impose, allowing for fines up to $1,500 and jail sentences up to one year, or both, for ordinance violations, with some exceptions for traffic offenses and prostitution-related offenses. This change is intended to allow these courts to more effectively address ordinance violations and is set to take effect on November 1, 2026.
