This bill amends Section 21D of chapter 40 of the General Laws to increase the maximum fine for violations of municipal ordinances and by-laws. Specifically, it raises the fine from three hundred dollars to five hundred dollars, thereby enhancing the enforcement capabilities of municipalities in addressing violations.

The change aims to provide local governments with a more effective tool for deterring non-compliance with their regulations, reflecting the need for stronger penalties to ensure adherence to municipal laws. This adjustment is intended to support the effective enforcement of local ordinances and improve overall compliance within communities.
