Draft chapter 122: Peddlers, Solicitors, and Transient Merchants
§ 122.20 Violations; Penalties
The 2026 draft's § 122.20 beside the current code's § 122.20: removed words are struck through, added words underlined.
Comparison with a draft: not adopted. The archive holds no public hearing, ordinance or vote adopting the recodified Code through the October 20, 2026 meeting packet. Until one is adopted, every page here compares the consolidated code with a draft that can still change: the revised draft with the October 6 changes is not in the archive.
A comparison with the August 2026 draft recodification prepared by Iowa Codification for the City. The draft has not been adopted and can still change; the current code (unofficial compilation) governs until a recodified Code is adopted. Matches between sections are made by machine from the texts and are reviewed where uncertain.

Current code
§ 122.20 Violations; Penalties
Any violation of this chapter may be prosecuted as a municipal infraction for each day the violation continues. This provision does not prohibit the use of a simple misdemeanor violation, but it creates an additional remedy. The City retains sole discretion to decide which remedy to pursue. The City may not pursue both remedies for a single violation. Penalties and relief for a judgment of a municipal infraction are those set forth in the relevant provisions of the Code of Iowa.
