Sec. 15-15. Penalties.


(a) If, after the warning notice pursuant to section 15-14 of a first violation by a juvenile, a parent violates section 15-12 (in connection with a second violation by the juvenile), this shall be treated as a first offense by the parent. For the first offense by a parent, the fine shall be in an amount not to exceed one hundred dollars ($100.00), and for each subsequent offense by a parent the fine shall be increased by an additional one hundred dollars ($100.00), (e.g., two hundred dollars ($200.00) for the second offense, three hundred dollars ($300.00) for the third offense) up to a maximum fine of one thousand dollars ($1,000.00). The judge of the district court of Maryland for Frederick County, upon finding a parent guilty, shall sentence the parent to pay this fine and the cost of prosecution.
(b) The parent or legal guardian having custody of a juvenile subject to this section shall be liable for all costs incurred by the city for providing personnel to remain in the company of a juvenile who has been held as a curfew violator if the parent or guardian does not pick up the juvenile within one hour after receiving notice from the city that the city is detaining the juvenile for a curfew violation. The amount to be paid by the parent or guardian shall be based on the hourly wage of the city employee who is assigned to remain with the juvenile plus the cost of benefits for that employee.
(c) The parent or legal guardian having custody of a juvenile subject to this section shall be liable for any fine or condition of restitution or reparation imposed by a court upon a curfew violator, provided that the curfew violator has not paid the fine or made restitution or reparation within the time ordered by the court, and further provided that the parent or legal guardian has been made a party defendant in all enforcement proceedings against the curfew violator and shall be served with all citations, summons, complaints, notices, and other documents required to be served on the curfew violator defendant.
(d) Any juvenile who shall violate any of the provisions section 15-10 more than three (3) times shall be reported by the chief of police to the juvenile justice system as a juvenile in need of supervision.
(e) If, after the warning notice pursuant to section 15-14 of a violation of section 15-13, an operator of an establishment violates section 15-13 a second time, this shall be treated as a first offense by the operator. For the first offense by an operator, the fine shall be in an amount not to exceed one hundred dollars ($100.00), and for each subsequent offense by an operator the fine shall be increased by an additional one hundred dollars ($100.00), (e.g., two hundred dollars ($200.00) for the second offense, three hundred dollars ($300.00) for the third offense) up to a maximum fine of one thousand dollars ($1,000.00).
