Body
DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS: This amendment eliminates the penalty ranges for 1st, 2nd and 3rd offenses of Unlawful Trespass and establishes a penalty range of $50 to $500 regardless of what number of offense occurs. The bail deposit remains the same. This amendment also increases the penalty range for Menacing or Aggressive Panhandling from $200 to $500.

This change insures the penalty range is in conformity with the available bail deposits.
