HB 334 -- Municipal Ordinance Violations

Sponsor:  Burnett

This bill specifies that the maximum fine for all municipal
ordinance violations in the City of Kansas City will be $1,000
except for ordinances requiring compliance by an industrial user
with any pretreatment standard or requirement.

The authorization for any division of the circuit court to
contract with a private entity operating under a contract with a
state agency or the Office of State Courts Administrator for the
collection of delinquent court-ordered payments is repealed.

Currently, cities contracted by a municipal division of the
circuit court to provide probation and rehabilitation services
for persons in violation of city ordinances cannot be required to
pay any part of the cost of those services.  Persons found guilty
or pleading guilty to municipal ordinance violations and placed
on probation must contribute a monthly service fee between $30
and $50 as determined by the sentencing court based on certain
enumerated factors.  The bill repeals both of these provisions.
