A proposal that would potentially decriminalize local ordinances cleared its remaining House votes this week, facing only a Senate concurrence vote before moving to the governor for consideration. As originally passed by the Senate, SB 584刑法改革 would have decriminalized all local ordinances. 然而, after extensive discussions with the League and other local government interests, the House modified the bill to allow a way for local governments to keep criminal enforcement measures on the books. 现在, the bill would allow every unit of local government to retain criminal enforcement if they submit a report listing all their ordinances punishable by a criminal penalty. If the General Assembly did not receive this report by Nov. 1, 2019, then that local government’s code of ordinances would become enforceable only by civil penalties on and after that date. The legislature instituted this reporting requirement last year, and hundreds of local governments have already complied. (Check for your city or town’s report on the General Assembly's website).
