Whenever a person charged with an offense subject to the jurisdiction of the municipal court is found guilty upon a trial or enters a plea of guilty or nolo contendere, the municipal court shall be authorized to impose a fine or imprisonment, or both, up to the maximum authorized by state law for municipal courts, mutatis mutandis. The municipal court shall also have the power to punish for contempt of court of the imposition of a fine or imprisonment, or both, up to the same limitation. The general power provided by this section shall not be deemed to authorize the municipal court to impose a fine or imprisonment greater than that otherwise set by state law for a specific violation.
