| | MANAGER'S REPORT:
This ordinance would amend the CBJ’s violating conditions of release penalty to be consistent with the maximum penalty allowed under State law. State law (AS 29.25.070(g)) requires that a penalty for a municipal ordinance may not be greater than for a violation of a similar State law. This ordinance would reduce the maximum term of imprisonment from 10 days to 5 days for the crime of violating conditions of release and clarify that the maximum fine is still $2000, which is consistent with State law (AS 11.56.757, AS 12.55.135(b)(3), and 12.55.035(b)(6)). | |
