Summary

The bill requires a county or municipality to receive written notice of any alleged failure to enforce an ordinance and gives it 14 days to act or explain why enforcement is not required. If the local government still does not enforce the ordinance, the complainant can file a civil action for an injunction and may recover attorney fees. It targets local governments, their residents, businesses, and the state attorney general.
