Last year Delegate Rust had a bill that gave localities the authority to impose higher fines for overcrowding violations than for other zoning violations. This year he's back asking that the new fines be increased from a maximum of $2500 for a first offense to $5000, and to $7500 for each 10 days of violation thereof.
The reason given for the increase is anecdotal evidence that the fines aren't high enough to discourage violators.
