FISCAL ANALYSIS

ASSUMPTION

The Office of the State Courts Administrator and the Missouri Sheriff's Association assume there would be no fiscal impact to their agencies as a result of this proposal.

Oversight assumes there would be an unknown increase in income to all municipalities as a result of the increase in zoning violation fines.

DESCRIPTION

Violators of zoning ordinances are subject to increased fines and to imprisonment. The maximum fine is raised from $10 to $500 per day for the first violation. Ten days in jail may be imposed for any violation; current law limits jail time to willful violations.

This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
