St. Bernard Parish sets ordinance penalty limits

The law sets maximum penalties for violations of St. Bernard Parish ordinance Chapters 5, 12, 19, 22, and most of Chapter 11. Covered violations carry up to a $1,500 fine, three months in parish jail, or both. Chapter 11 Sections 11-20(e) and 11-20(f), and Article VI, are excluded from this limit. The limit overrides conflicting laws but does not create new offenses.
