Title
SUBSTITUTE Creating Section 23.07(11), renumbering Sections 23.07(11) and (12) to (12) and (13), amending Section 23.07(13) and amending Section 1.08(3)(a) of the Madison General Ordinances to prohibit the entering of a vehicle without the owner’s consent and to create a bail deposit for violation thereof.
Body
DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS: This ordinance includes a prohibition against entering a vehicle without the consent of the owner or operator. This ordinance addresses the problem of individuals entering an unlocked vehicle but not stealing any of the vehicle’s contents. This ordinance also amends Sec. 1.08 to include a bail schedule for this offense. This substitute reduces the minimum forfeiture and amends the bail deposit in accordance with the new forfeiture range.
