Modifies the offense of littering

Summary

The bill changes Missouri’s littering statute, making most littering a Class C misdemeanor but upgrading it to a Class A misdemeanor when it poses a substantial injury risk or the offender has prior violations. It creates specific fines for the intentional outdoor release of balloons, especially those filled with lighter‑than‑air gases, and provides a definition of “balloon.” The measure did not pass.
