House Bill 72 amends the Local Government Code to include Fort Bend County as one of the counties whose board of park commissioners under current law may, subject to approval by the applicable commissioners court, adopt reasonable rules concerning the use of any park administered by the respective board. Fort Bend County, however, is prohibited from adopting rules relating to the use of fireworks. The bill changes the penalty for violating a rule from a Class C misdemeanor to a civil penalty of not more than $100 per violation. An applicable county may bring suit in a district court or county court to recover a civil penalty.
