Suitable teeth for pre-emption?
« on: May 26, 2015, 03:21:54 PM »
I suspect that if this were the law in MI, there never would have been a CADL suit:

The Texas legislation has teeth, but fair notice must be given to the government entities that break the law. Once a government entity is placed on notice that they are in violation of the law, they will have 15 days to remove the offending sign.

First offenses will incur fines of $1,000 to $1,500 per day. Second offenses are fined $10,000 to $10,500 per day.

That was a good question.
I assumed the state, but not quite, it goes to the crime victims' compensation fund.

(e)  A civil penalty collected by the attorney general under
     this section shall be deposited to the credit of the compensation to
     victims of crime fund established under Subchapter B, Chapter 56,
     Code of Criminal Procedure.
