The following is the Amendment.

After the last section, add the following and renumber sections and internal references accordingly:

"Sec. 501. Section 8-12 of the general statutes is repealed and the following is substituted in lieu thereof (Effective October 1, 2006):

(a) If any building or structure has been erected, constructed, altered, converted or maintained, or any building, structure or land has been used, in violation of any provision of this chapter or of any bylaw, ordinance, rule or regulation made under authority conferred hereby, any official having jurisdiction, in addition to other remedies, may institute an action or proceeding to prevent such unlawful erection, construction, alteration, conversion, maintenance or use or to restrain, correct or abate such violation or to prevent the occupancy of such building, structure or land or to prevent any illegal act, conduct, business or use in or about such premises. Such regulations shall be enforced by the officer or official board or authority designated therein, who shall be authorized to cause any building, structure, place or premises to be inspected and examined and to order in writing the remedying of any condition found to exist therein or thereon in violation of any provision of the regulations made under authority of the provisions of this chapter or, when the violation involves grading of land, the removal of earth or soil erosion and sediment control, to issue, in writing, a cease and desist order to be effective immediately. The owner or agent of any building or premises where a violation of any provision of such regulations has been committed or exists, or the lessee or tenant of an entire building or entire premises where such violation has been committed or exists, or the owner, agent, lessee or tenant of any part of the building or premises in which such violation has been committed or exists, or the agent, architect, builder, contractor or any other person who commits, takes part or assists in any such violation or who maintains any building or premises in which any such violation exists, shall be fined not less than [ten] one hundred nor more than [one] five hundred dollars for each day that such violation continues; but, if the offense is wilful, the person convicted thereof shall be fined not less than [one] five hundred dollars nor more than [two hundred and fifty] one thousand dollars for each day that such violation continues, or imprisoned not more than ten days for each day such violation continues or both; and the Superior Court shall have jurisdiction of all such offenses, subject to appeal as in other cases. Any person who, having been served with an order to discontinue any such violation, fails to comply with such order within ten days after such service, or having been served with a cease and desist order with respect to a violation involving grading of land, removal of earth or soil erosion and sediment control, fails to comply with such order immediately, or continues to violate any provision of the regulations made under authority of the provisions of this chapter specified in such order shall be subject to a civil penalty not to exceed two thousand five hundred dollars, payable to the treasurer of the municipality. In any criminal prosecution under this section, the defendant may plead in abatement that such criminal prosecution is based on a zoning ordinance or regulation which is the subject of a civil action wherein one of the issues is the interpretation of such ordinance or regulations, and that the issues in the civil action are such that the prosecution would fail if the civil action results in an interpretation different from that claimed by the state in the criminal prosecution. If the court renders judgment for such municipality and finds that the violation was wilful, the court shall allow such municipality its costs, together with reasonable attorney's fees to be taxed by the court. The court before which such prosecution is pending may order such prosecution abated if it finds that the allegations of the plea are true.

(b) Any civil penalty imposed by a municipality pursuant to the provisions of subsection (a) of this section, and remaining unpaid for a period of sixty days after its due date shall constitute a lien upon the real estate against which the civil penalty was imposed from the date of such civil penalty, provided a notice of violation is recorded in the land records and indexed in the name of the property owner no later than thirty days after the civil penalty was imposed. Each such lien may be continued, recorded and released in the manner provided by the general statutes for continuing, recording and releasing property tax liens. Each such lien shall be effective from the time of the recording of the lien on the land records, shall take precedence over all other liens and encumbrances, except taxes, and may be enforced in the same manner as property tax liens. Each title insurance company issuing a policy for property in this state shall exclude coverage for loss or damage because of a valid existing lien or a future unrecorded lien imposed under this subsection.

(c) Any municipality imposing a civil penalty pursuant to subsection (a) of this section shall maintain a current record of all properties with respect to which such civil penalty remains unpaid in the office of the municipal clerk. Such record shall be available for inspection by the public.

Sec. 502. Section 8-12a of the general statutes is repealed and the following is substituted in lieu thereof (Effective October 1, 2006):

(a) Any municipality may, by ordinance adopted by its legislative body, establish penalties for violations of zoning regulations adopted under section 8-2 or by special act. The ordinance shall establish the types of violations for which a citation may be issued and the amount of any fine to be imposed thereby and shall specify the time period for uncontested payment of fines for any alleged violation under any such regulation. No fine imposed under the authority of this section may exceed [one] two hundred fifty dollars for each day a violation continues. Any fine shall be payable to the treasurer of the municipality.

(b) The hearing procedure for any citation issued pursuant to this section shall be in accordance with section 7-152c except that no zoning enforcement officer, building inspector or employee of the municipal body exercising zoning authority may be appointed to be a hearing officer.

(c) Any zoning enforcement officer who issues a citation pursuant to an ordinance adopted under this section shall be liable for treble damages in any civil action if the court finds that such citation was issued frivolously or without probable cause.

(d) Any fine imposed pursuant to the provisions of subsection (a) of this section, and remaining unpaid for a period of sixty days after its due date shall constitute a lien upon the real estate against which the fine was imposed from the date of such fine, provided a notice of violation is recorded in the land records and indexed in the name of the property owner no later than thirty days after the fine was imposed. Each such lien may be continued, recorded and released in the manner provided by the general statutes for continuing, recording and releasing property tax liens. Each such lien shall be effective from the time of the recording of the lien on the land records, shall take precedence over all other liens and encumbrances, except taxes, and may be enforced in the same manner as property tax liens. Each title insurance company issuing a policy for property in this state shall exclude coverage for loss or damage because of a valid existing lien or a future unrecorded lien imposed under this subsection.

(e) Any municipality imposing a fine pursuant to subsection (a) of this section shall maintain a current record of all properties with respect to which such fine remains unpaid in the office of the municipal clerk. Such record shall be available for inspection by the public.

Sec. 503. Section 47a-53 of the general statutes is repealed and the following is substituted in lieu thereof (Effective October 1, 2006):

(a) Whenever any tenement, lodging or boarding house or any building, structure, excavation, business pursuit, matter or thing in or about such house or the lot on which it is situated, or the plumbing, sewerage, drainage, lighting, paint or ventilation of such house, is, in the opinion of the board of health or other enforcing agency, in a condition which is or in its effect is dangerous or detrimental to life or health, or whenever any tenement, lodging or boarding house in the opinion of the board or enforcing agency, is in violation of the provisions of section 19a-109, the board or other enforcing agency may declare that the same, to the extent specified by the board or other enforcing agency, is a public nuisance. The board or enforcing agency may order such public nuisance to be removed, abated, suspended, altered or otherwise remedied, improved or purified. The board of health or other enforcing agency may also order or cause any tenement house or part thereof, or any excavation, building, structure, sewer, plumbing pipe, paint, passage, premises, ground, matter or thing in or about a tenement, lodging or boarding house or the lot on which such house is situated, to be purified, cleansed, disinfected, removed, altered, repaired or improved.

(b) If any order of the board of health or other enforcing agency is not complied with, or not so far complied with as the board or other enforcing agency regards as reasonable, within five days after the service thereof, or within such shorter time as the board or other enforcing agency designates, such order may be executed by the board or other enforcing agency, through its officers, agents, employees or contractors. The expense of executing such order, including an amount not to exceed five per cent of the expense thereof as a service charge and ten per cent of the expense thereof as a penalty shall be collected from the owner by an action in the name of the city, borough or town.

(c) Any expense of executing an order, including any service charge and penalty, imposed by the board of health or other enforcing agency pursuant to the provisions of subsection (b) of this section, and remaining unpaid for a period of sixty days after its due date shall constitute a lien upon the real estate against which the expense was imposed from the date of such expense, provided a notice of violation is recorded in the land records and indexed in the name of the property owner not later than thirty days after the expense was imposed. Each such lien may be continued, recorded and released in the manner provided by the general statutes for continuing, recording and releasing property tax liens. Each such lien shall be effective from the time of the recording of the lien on the land records, shall take precedence over all other liens and encumbrances, except taxes, and may be enforced in the same manner as property tax liens. Each title insurance company issuing a policy for property in this state shall exclude coverage for loss or damage because of a valid existing lien or a future unrecorded lien imposed under this subsection.

(d) Any board of health or other enforcing agency imposing an expense, including a service charge and penalty, pursuant to subsection (b) of this section shall maintain a current record of all properties with respect to which such expenses remain unpaid in the office of the municipal clerk. Such record shall be available for inspection by the public.

Sec. 504. Section 47a-58 of the general statutes is repealed and the following is substituted in lieu thereof (Effective October 1, 2006):

(a) Any enforcing agency may issue a notice of violation to any person who violates any provision of this chapter or a provision of a local housing code. Such notice shall specify each violation and specify the last day by which such violation shall be corrected. The date specified shall not be less than three weeks from the date of mailing of such notice, provided that in the case of a condition, which in the judgment of the enforcing agency is or in its effect is dangerous or detrimental to life or health, the date specified shall not be more than five days from the date of mailing of such notice. The enforcing agency may postpone the last day by which a violation shall be corrected upon a showing by the owner or other responsible person that he has begun to correct the violation but that full correction of the violation cannot be completed within the time provided because of technical difficulties, inability to obtain necessary materials or labor or inability to gain access to the dwelling unit wherein the violation exists.

(b) When the owner or other responsible person has corrected such violation, [he] the owner or other responsible person shall promptly, but not later than two weeks after such correction, report to the enforcing agency in writing, indicating the date when each violation was corrected. It shall be presumed that the violation was corrected on the date so indicated, unless a subsequent inspection by the enforcing agency again reveals the existence of the condition giving rise to the earlier notice of violation.

(c) Any person who fails to correct any violation prior to the date set forth in the notice of violation shall be subject to a cumulative civil penalty of five dollars per day for each violation from the date set for correction in the notice of violation to the date such violation is corrected, except that in any case the penalty shall not exceed [five] one hundred dollars per day nor shall the total penalty exceed [seventy-five] seven thousand five hundred dollars. The penalty may be collected by the enforcing agency by action against the owner or other responsible person or by an action against the real property. An action against the owner may be joined with an action against the real property.

(d) In addition to the penalties specified in this section, the enforcing agency may enforce the provisions of this chapter or a local housing code by injunctive relief pursuant to chapter 916.

(e) Any penalty imposed by an enforcing agency pursuant to the provisions of subsection (c) of this section, and remaining unpaid for a period of sixty days after its due date shall constitute a lien upon the real property against which the penalty was imposed from the date of such penalty, provided a notice of violation is recorded in the land records and indexed in the name of the property owner no later than thirty days after the penalty was imposed. Each such lien may be continued, recorded and released in the manner provided by the general statutes for continuing, recording and releasing property tax liens. Each such lien shall be effective from the time of the recording of the lien on the land records, shall take precedence over all other liens and encumbrances, except taxes, and may be enforced in the same manner as property tax liens. Each title insurance company issuing a policy for property in this state shall exclude coverage for loss or damage because of a valid existing lien or a future unrecorded lien imposed under this subsection.

(f) Any enforcing agency imposing a penalty pursuant to subsection (c) of this section shall maintain a current record of all properties with respect to which such penalty remains unpaid in the office of the municipal clerk. Such record shall be available for inspection by the public.

Sec. 505. Subdivision (10) of subsection (c) of section 7-148 of the general statutes is repealed and the following is substituted in lieu thereof (Effective October 1, 2006):

(10) (A) Make all lawful regulations and ordinances in furtherance of any general powers as enumerated in this section, and prescribe penalties for the violation of the same not to exceed [one hundred] two hundred fifty dollars, unless otherwise specifically provided by the general statutes. Such regulations and ordinances may be enforced by citations issued by designated municipal officers or employees, provided the regulations and ordinances have been designated specifically by the municipality for enforcement by citation in the same manner in which they were adopted and the designated municipal officers or employees issue a written warning providing notice of the specific violation before issuing the citation;

(B) Adopt a code of ethical conduct;

(C) Establish and maintain free legal aid bureaus;

(D) Perform data processing and related administrative computer services for a fee for another municipality;

(E) Adopt the model ordinance concerning a municipal freedom of information advisory board created under subsection (f) of section 1-205 and establish a municipal freedom of information advisory board as provided by said ordinance and said section.

Sec. 506. Subsection (b) of section 51-164n of the 2006 supplement to the general statutes is repealed and the following is substituted in lieu thereof (Effective October 1, 2006):

(b) Notwithstanding any provision of the general statutes, any person who is alleged to have committed (1) a violation under the provisions of section 1-9, 1-10, 1-11, 4b-13, 7-13, 7-14, 7-35, 7-41,
