This bill amends R.S. 33:1243(B)(1) concerning the penalties for violations of parish ordinances in Jefferson Parish. The maximum penalty for such violations is increased from a fine of five hundred dollars to one thousand dollars, along with a potential six-month imprisonment in the parish jail. Additionally, the bill introduces specific provisions for properties zoned or used for industrial activities, which may now face significantly higher penalties.

Under the new provisions, properties engaged in industrial activities can incur fines of up to twenty-five thousand dollars for a first violation and up to fifty thousand dollars for any subsequent violations. This change aims to enhance compliance with parish ordinances by imposing stricter penalties on industrial properties, reflecting the potential impact of their operations on the community.
