DENVER â The City of Denver is considering a proposal to significantly increase the fines businesses could face for public health violations.
For decades, the fines have been capped at $999 per public health violation in the city. Under the proposal, the new cap would be $5,000 per incident.
The health department says the change is allowed under state law and would put Denver in line with other local governments across the state for public health fines.
