Environmental court option for Tipton County
The law lets Tipton County designate a General Sessions Court division as its Environmental Court, with two-thirds county legislative approval. Once designated, the court handles county and municipal violations involving health, housing, fire, land subdivision, building, or zoning. Its judge can order actions or stop them through injunctions, and appoint a master to help with covered cases. Defendants found guilty of covered county violations can be ordered to fix them at their own expense. Willfully missing a court-ordered correction deadline for covered county or municipal violations can bring contempt penalties: up to $50 and 10 days in jail per violation.
