Except where a different penalty is provided, a person who fails or refuses to comply with or violates any provision of this Article shall be guilty of an infraction and be subject to a fine of $500 or imprisonment for 30 days or both. Source: PL 7-33, § 11; amended by PL 15-64, § 3(h). Commission Comment: See also 6 CMC § 3114, effective June 16, 2005, which also requires an individual to have a valid taxicab driver’s license (or taxicab registration card) in order to operate a taxicab and sets forth a penalty for violation which differs from 9 CMC §§ 2301 and 2303. PL 15-64 was enacted on May 30, 2007, and contained the following findings and purpose in addition to other enactments and repealers, expenditure authority, global amendment, clarifications, severability, and savings clause provisions. 6 CMC § 3114 was eventually repealed by PL 15-64, § 2(b). Section 1. Findings and Purpose. The Commonwealth Legislature finds that with the enactment of various bills into public law, certain minor errors and inconsistencies have prevented the efficient codification of a number of laws. It is the intent of this Act to repeal, amend, or add necessary language to the Commonwealth Code in order to more accurately reflect the intent and purpose of laws enacted by the Commonwealth Legislature.
