The Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu has called on the sector of royal commissions to participate in raising observations regarding the project "Regulations for Fines and Penalties for Municipal Violations of the Royal Commission."

The project obliges the violator of municipal regulations to repair what has been damaged and restore things to their original state, and to appeal to the authorized person regarding the imposition of any penalties specified in the regulations within 60 days from the date of notification of the penalty. An appeal can also be made against the decision of the authorized person before the Board of Grievances within sixty days.

The project classifies violations into five groups, which include public health violations, violations related to slaughtering and stray livestock, sales violations, construction violations, and road violations.
