Specifically, the bill permits a civil penalty of up to $1,000 per day for each resident in violation of the regulations, mandates notice and a hearing before penalties are assessed, and allows enforcement actions against facility owners in the Civil Division of the Circuit Court of Calhoun County.
Additionally, the bill includes a provision that prohibits registered sex offenders from residing in any facility that houses residents enrolled by court order or supervised by the Calhoun County Community Punishment and Corrections Authority, Inc.
