(a) Original jurisdiction. The Municipal Court shall have original jurisdiction to hear and try all alleged violations of any provisions of this Code and ordinances of the Town, with full power to punish violators thereof by the imposition of such fines and penalties as are prescribed in this Code or by ordinance. The Municipal Court shall also have all powers necessary to enjoin, restrain and abate all public nuisances existing within the Town.

(b) Concurrent jurisdiction. This Code does not preempt any statute of the State, nor does it preclude prosecution for any conduct constituting a violation of any state statute. When the same conduct is prohibited by both state law and this Code, the alleged offender may be prosecuted in either the appropriate court designated under state law or the Municipal Court. (Prior code 1.16.040, 1.16.060; Ord. 1288 §1, 2008)
