§ 138-15. Violations and penalties; suspension or revocation of license or permit.

Any person violating any provision of this article shall, upon conviction, be punishable by a fine not to exceed $1,250 or imprisonment for a term not to exceed 90 days, or both, or to revocation or suspension of his or her license or permit, with respect to any or all of his or her licensed registered motor vehicles or all-terrain vehicles, cycles and bikes, or to all or any of said penalties, within the sole discretion of the Municipal Judge. If the violation is caused by the operation of an all-terrain vehicle, cycle or bike not registered to the permit holder, the permit of the offending all-terrain vehicle, cycle or bike may also be suspended or revoked in the discretion of the Municipal Court Judge, upon notice by summons to the holder thereof. The Chief of Police shall have the authority, in his discretion, to suspend the permit, license or the right of the offender to use the beaches pending a hearing before the Municipal Court Judge upon charges made. No license or permit holder shall be permitted to obtain a new license or permit for any motor vehicle during the period of suspension; nor, upon revocation, shall the permit holder or license holder obtain a new permit or license for a period of one year after his or her conviction.
