Rochelle — Ch. 58 Human Relations § 58-37
Any person violating any provision of this article shall, upon conviction thereof, be punished as provided by law.
Source: Legislative text reproduced verbatim
Plain English

Section 58-37 of Rochelle's Human Relations ordinance (Ch. 58) establishes that violations of the article's provisions carry criminal-style consequences: a person found guilty of a violation is subject to punishment as determined by applicable law. The provision does not specify a fixed dollar amount or term, instead deferring to the broader legal framework for the measure of punishment. This means the actual penalty is shaped by whatever general penalty provisions govern municipal ordinance violations in Rochelle.

For Property Managers

Under Ch. 58 § 58-37, property owners and managers who fail to comply with Rochelle's Human Relations article risk criminal conviction and punishment under applicable law. Operators who maintain documented, consistent fair-housing and non-discrimination practices are generally better positioned to demonstrate compliance if a complaint arises. Keeping clear records of tenant interactions, application processes, and policy decisions reflects the kind of operational discipline that supports compliance with Ch. 58.
