This page is about a bill. That means that it's not the law yet, but some people want it to be the law. It could change quickly, and some of the information is just a draft.

269: Payment of infringement fees

You could also call this:

"What happens to the money you pay for breaking a rule"

Illustration for Planning Bill

If you get an infringement notice from a local authority, they get to keep the fee you pay. This is for infringement offences where the local authority's enforcement officer gave you the notice. The EPA can keep the fee if their enforcement officer gave you the notice.
