Source: Legislative text reproduced verbatim
Plain English

Malta Chapter 30, Section 30-48 establishes that anyone found guilty of violating the human relations provisions in this article faces punishment as set out in the jurisdiction's general penalty provision, Section 1-10. The rule ties enforcement consequences directly to a conviction under the article, meaning the penalty framework is determined by cross-reference rather than being spelled out in this section alone. The effect is that violations of the human relations article carry legally defined consequences consistent with the broader municipal code.
