Civil penalties for violations of zoning ordinance; short-term rentals. Allows any locality to adopt a uniform schedule of civil penalties for the violation of provisions of the zoning ordinance related to short-term rentals. The schedule of civil penalties shall not exceed (i) $500 for the initial violation, (ii) $1,000 for the second violation, or (iii) $1,500 for the third or subsequent violation, with each day during which the violation is found to have existed constituting a separate offense. The bill provides that designation of a particular zoning ordinance violation for a civil penalty shall be in lieu of criminal sanctions, and except for any violation resulting in injury to persons, such designation shall preclude the prosecution of a violation as a criminal misdemeanor, unless such civil penalties total $5,000 or more.
