390.892a Violation as civil infraction; civil sanctions; limitation on civil fine; conflict with act; misdemeanor penalty prohibited; processing of violation.
Sec. 2a.
If the violation of a particular provision of the ordinance is designated a civil infraction pursuant to section 1, the governing board may establish civil sanctions for those civil infractions, but a civil fine shall not be more than $25.00. If the governing board establishes civil sanctions for a violation of a particular provision of the ordinance designated a civil infraction that prohibits parking in a parking space reserved for use by persons with disabilities substantially corresponding to section 674(1)(s) of the Michigan vehicle code, 1949 PA 300, MCL 257.674, the governing board shall establish a civil fine of not less than $50.00 or more than $100.00. A civil sanction in excess of that prescribed in the Michigan vehicle code, 1949 PA 300, MCL 257.1 to 257.923, is in conflict with that act and is void to the extent of the conflict. The ordinance shall not impose a misdemeanor penalty for an act or omission which is a civil infraction under the Michigan vehicle code, 1949 PA 300, MCL 257.1 to 257.923. Except as provided in section 3, the violation of a provision designated a civil infraction in the ordinance shall be processed in the same manner as a civil infraction under the Michigan vehicle code, 1949 PA 300, MCL 257.1 to 257.923.
