A. Fine: Unless another penalty is set forth below, every person found guilty of a violation of any of the provisions of this chapter shall be subject to a fine as set forth in appendix A, division III of this code, for the first offense and for each subsequent offense. Any fines set forth in this chapter shall be assessed regardless of whether the violator is convicted or placed on supervision by the court. If the court is of the opinion that the ends of justice would be better served by requiring community service of the violator or a combination of a fine and community service, the fine may be mitigated as set forth in appendix A, division III of this code. If the offense is related to alcohol or substance abuse and the offender is under twenty one (21) years of age, the court may, in lieu of any mandatory fines, assign the offender to a chemical abuse counseling program that is licensed by the Illinois department of alcohol and substance abuse which includes a certified evaluation program and not less than four (4) hours of counseling. Fines assessed by the court against any offender may be in addition to any penalty assessed against a licensee in any administrative proceeding.
B. Specific Penalties: Certain specific penalties shall be set forth in appendix A, division III of this code under the sections or subsections that correspond with the text.
C. Separate Offense; Alternatives: A separate offense shall be deemed to have been committed on each day during or on which a violation occurs or continues. (Ord. 5727, 3-3-2009)
