P-9.02 - Act respecting the environmental performance of buildings

Section 24 Disposition versions

2024-03-27

24. If a provision of a regulation made by the Government under this Act is enforceable by a municipality and failure to comply with the provision may give rise to a monetary administrative penalty, the penalty may also be imposed by any municipality designated for that purpose by the Government for a failure that occurred in its territory. However, such a penalty may not be imposed concurrently with a penalty that a person designated by the Minister may also impose on the same person based on the same facts that occurred on the same day.

The provisions of this Act concerning monetary administrative penalties apply to the municipality that imposes such a penalty, with the necessary modifications and according to the terms and conditions determined by the Government, such as those relating to the possibility of contesting the decision before the competent municipal court and to the procedures for recovering the amounts owed.

A municipality that imposes a monetary administrative penalty may charge fees for the recovery of the amount.

The amounts collected by a municipality under this section belong to it and, with the exception of recovery fees, must be used to finance measures and programs for the energy transition of buildings.
