Bill Summary
Relative to increasing the maximum fine for misuse of the official seal of a town. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to increase the maximum fine for misusing a town's official seal, which is a symbol of authority. Currently, the law (Chapter 268, Section 35) states that anyone who misuses the official seal of a town "shall be punished by a fine of not more than fifty dollars." This bill would amend that section to change the maximum fine to "not more than two thousand dollars," meaning individuals found guilty of this offense could face a significantly higher penalty.
