2013 Senate Bill 35

House Roll Call 425: Passed

To authorize additional penalties for failing to pay fines imposed by “administrative hearing bureaus” that most cities are allowed to create for enforcing "blight violations" under a <A href="http://www.michiganvotes.org/2003-HB-5216">2003 law</A>, with some exceptions. Under that law, cities already have the power to place a lien against the property. The bill would authorize additional fines of $500, 93 days in jail for a second offense, and up to a year for a third offense.
