Hinckley — Ch. 38 Human Relations § 38-41
Any person violating any provision of this article shall, upon conviction thereof, be punished as provided by law.
Source: Legislative text reproduced verbatim
Plain English

Hinckley Ch. 38 Human Relations § 38-41 establishes that violations of the Human Relations article carry criminal-style consequences: anyone found guilty of a violation is subject to punishment as determined by the applicable law. The provision does not specify a fixed dollar amount or jail term on its face, instead deferring to whatever penalty framework the broader legal code prescribes. This means the actual consequence of a violation is determined by reference to other governing statutes or ordinances.

For Property Managers

Under Hinckley Ch. 38 § 38-41, property owners and managers who fail to comply with any provision of the Human Relations article expose themselves to legal penalties upon conviction. Operators who stay current with the full scope of the article's requirements — covering areas such as fair treatment and non-discrimination — are the ones best positioned to avoid triggering this penalty provision. Maintaining clear policies, training staff, and documenting compliance practices are actions commonly associated with operators who remain in good standing.

For Tenants

Hinckley Ch. 38 § 38-41 means that violations of the Human Relations article are not merely administrative matters — they can result in criminal conviction and punishment for the offending party. Tenants who believe a landlord or other person has violated the article may have grounds to report the conduct to local authorities or a relevant enforcement body, which could initiate proceedings under this provision. Tenant-rights organizations and legal aid services can help individuals understand what options exist when a potential violation of Ch. 38 is involved.
