Source: Legislative text reproduced verbatim
Plain English

Belvidere Ch. 62 Human Relations § 62-39 establishes that violations of the Human Relations article carry criminal penalties upon conviction. The punishment is not set out in this section itself but is instead determined by reference to the general penalty provision found in section 1-9 of the Belvidere municipal code. This cross-reference means the consequences of a violation are governed by whatever fines or other sanctions section 1-9 prescribes.

For Property Managers

Under Belvidere Ch. 62 § 62-39, property owners and managers who fail to comply with any part of the Human Relations article may face criminal conviction and punishment as defined in section 1-9. Operators who maintain documented, consistent fair-housing and non-discrimination practices are generally better positioned to demonstrate compliance. Reviewing both this article and section 1-9 together gives a complete picture of the potential consequences for non-compliance.
