Bill > H7221

This bill increases the fines for dog ordinance violations specifically within the town of Barrington, Rhode Island. Previously, Barrington could impose fines of up to $25 for a first offense, $50 for a second offense within a year, and $75 for a third or subsequent offense within a year. This legislation amends that by allowing Barrington to impose higher fines: up to $50 for a first offense, up to $100 for a second offense within a calendar year, and up to $150 for a third and any subsequent offense within a calendar year. These fines, referred to as "pecuniary penalties," are monetary penalties that can be paid by mail, and the bill will become law immediately upon its passage.
