Representative Dunnegan questioned the sponsor about whether HB370’s primary purpose is enforcement or to fund an employment program for people with disabilities; sponsor (Representative Mascaro) said the bill is to employ qualified people with disabilities and not enforcement. Dunnegan argued the $50 increase (raising the fine from $125 to $175) is disproportionate and that the executive branch should seek a $33,000 appropriation rather than raising fines; sponsor said municipalities may add enforcement and that fees are routinely used to fund state policies.
