Source: Legislative text reproduced verbatim
Plain English

Section 13-1-27 of Mascoutah's Fair Housing Code establishes that any person who violates any part of the Fair Housing Code is subject to a fine, with the specific fine amount determined by reference to the City's general penalty provision at section 1-1-20. The provision also cross-references Illinois state law under ILCS Sec. 5/11-11.1-1, which governs municipal fair housing enforcement authority. In short, violations of the Fair Housing Code carry a monetary penalty set elsewhere in the municipal code.
