BILL NUMBER:S3470 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the public health law, in relation to civil penalties PURPOSE: This bill will align the maximum civil penalties that may be assessed by local boards of health for violations of the State Sanitary Code with the maximum civil penalties that may be assessed by the State for such violations. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section one amends paragraph (f) of subdivision 1 of section 309 of the public health law, as amended by chapter 15 of the laws of 1995, to provide that a local board of health (LBOH) may impose penalties for the violation of or failure to comply with any of its orders or regulations or any of the regulations of the State Sanitary Code not to exceed $2,000 for a single violation or failure, increased from the current maximum of $1,000 per violation or failure. Section two provides that nothing in this act shall be construed as requiring any LBOH or city to increase any maximum penalty provided in local law or regulation, or to assess any penalty at a higher level than is provided in local law or regulation.
