What the statute requires

Obligations

  • Cap any single fine at $100 per violation and the aggregate at $1,000 — daily fines may continue but the $1,000 cap binds.

    §718.303(3)(b)

  • Provide at least 14 days written notice and an opportunity for a hearing before any fine becomes enforceable.

    §718.303(3)(b) · at least 14 days before

  • Appoint an independent committee of three or more members without conflicts of interest to confirm or reject each proposed fine by majority vote.

    §718.303(3)(b)

  • Issue no fine without independent-committee approval, and document the committee’s decision in the official records.

    §718.303(3)(b)
