House Bill No. 664, introduced by Representative LaCombe, seeks to amend the penalties for violations of parish ordinances in Louisiana. The bill specifically increases the maximum fine for such violations from $500 to $1,500, while maintaining the existing provision for imprisonment of up to 30 days in parish jail. Additionally, the bill allows for a maximum of 100 hours of community service to be imposed as a penalty, either in addition to or in lieu of the other penalties.

The proposed changes are encapsulated in the amendment to R.S. 33:1243(A)(1), which reflects the new maximum fine while retaining the current structure of penalties for parish ordinance violations. This legislative update aims to enhance the enforcement of local ordinances by imposing stricter financial penalties for non-compliance.
