Status: in_force

§ Subdivision 1. Smoking prohibited. No person shall smoke cigarettes, cigars, pipes, or other smoking material in a hotel sleeping room designated nonsmoking.

§ Subd. 2. Penalty. A person who violates this section is guilty of a petty misdemeanor. Upon conviction, the court may require a person who violates this section to reimburse the innkeeper for actual costs incurred to restore the room to its previolation condition.

§ Subd. 2a. Civil penalty and service charge. Unless a court orders reimbursement under subdivision 2, a person who violates this section is liable to the innkeeper for the cost of restoring the damaged room to its previolation condition and a service charge of $30. The service charge may be imposed immediately upon the mailing of the notice required under subdivision 4, if the notice of the charge was displayed according to subdivision 3. If the person does not reimburse the innkeeper within 30 days after the innkeeper has mailed notice under subdivision 4, the innkeeper may seek a civil judgment for the cost of restoring the room to previolation condition, the service charge, and a civil penalty not to exceed $100. If the innkeeper prevails, the court shall order payment of: (1) interest at the legal rate for judgments under section 549.09 from the date of nonpayment; and (2) reasonable attorney fees, not to exceed $500.

Only one service charge may be imposed under this subdivision for each incident.

§ Subd. 5. Notice of dispute. If, within the 30-day period under subdivision 2a, the violating party sends written notice to the innkeeper disputing the innkeeper's claim that the person smoked in a nonsmoking room, the innkeeper may collect the cost of restoring the room to previolation condition and the civil penalties imposed by this section only under a judgment rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction.

To the extent that such an improvement benefits nonabutting properties which may be served by the improvement when one or more later extensions or improvements are made but which are not initially assessed therefor, the municipality may also reimburse itself by adding all or any of the portion of the cost so paid to the assessments levied for any of such later extensions or improvements, provided that notice that such additional amount will be assessed is included in the notice of hearing on the making of such extensions or improvements.
