Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects

Bigger fines in cities with courts of record
In cities with a municipal criminal court of record, general fines can be up to $1,200 plus costs. For stormwater and wastewater pretreatment, fines cap at $1,000; jail up to six months may apply. For alcohol- or drug-related traffic offenses, fines cap at $1,250; jail up to six months may apply. From each alcohol fine or deferral fee, $50 goes to a city fund and $15 to the state impaired driver fund. For prostitution offenses, fines can be $2,500 for a first, $5,000 for a second, and $7,500 for later convictions; jail up to six months or 40–80 hours of service may apply. Cities still cannot punish as municipal crimes acts state law treats as felonies.
Lower fine caps without record courts
In municipalities with a court not of record, local penalties cannot exceed state law for the same offense. Where no statute sets a penalty, caps are: $200 for speeding or parking; $800 for alcohol or drug offenses; $750 for others. For stormwater and pretreatment, fines cap at $1,000 and jail up to 90 days; a jury trial is available if jail is possible. For most other municipal offenses, jail cannot exceed 60 days. From each alcohol fine or deferral fee, $50 goes to a city fund. These cities cannot make felonies municipal crimes.
Stronger limits on local fines and fees
Municipalities cannot charge over $50 until they publish their penal ordinances. For speeds up to 10 mph over on certain highway outskirts, the fine cannot exceed $10 and court costs $15. Any fine or deferral fee above legal caps is void and is reduced to the maximum allowed. These protections apply now.
