HB 1849 -- MUNICIPAL ZONING VIOLATION REMEDIES

Currently, the penalties for zoning violations for municipalities
in Jackson County are between $10 and $500 for each day of the
violation for the first offense, between $250 and $1,000 for each
day of the violation for the second and subsequent offenses,
imprisonment for 10 days for each violation, or both the fine and
imprisonment.  This bill changes the jurisdiction for these
penalty ranges to any city with more than 300,000 inhabitants,
reduces the maximum fine by 50% for all offenses for
municipalities in Jackson County other than Kansas City, and
eliminates the separate penalty for willful violations in all
municipalities.
