(A) Except in cases where a different punishment is or may be prescribed in this code, any person, firm or corporation who violates any provision of this code shall, upon conviction, be fined in an amount not less than $20 and not more than $500, plus costs and assessments. Each day’s continuation of an offense or misdemeanor is a separate offense or misdemeanor and is punishable as such.
(Prior Code, § 1-4-1)
(B) (1) Application of penalty. The penalty provided in this section shall be applicable to every section of this code the same as though it were a part of each and every separate section.
(2) Acts punishable under different sections. In all cases where the same offense is made punishable or is created by different clauses or sections of this code, the prosecuting officer may elect under which to proceed, but not more than one recovery shall be had against the same person for the same offense; provided that, the revocation of a license or permit shall not be considered a recovery or penalty so as to bar any other penalty being enforced.
(3) Breach of provisions. Whenever the doing of any act or the omission to do any act constitutes a breach of any section or provision of this code and there shall be no fine or penalty specifically declared for such breach, the provisions of this chapter shall apply.
(Prior Code, § 1-4-2)
(C) No provision of this code designating the duties of any officer or employee shall be so construed as to make such officer or employee liable for any fine or penalty provided for a failure to perform such duty, unless the intention of the town’s Board of Trustees to impose such fine or penalty on such officer or employee is specifically and clearly expressed in the section creating the duty.
(Prior Code, § 1-4-3)
