Littering; increase fines for.

Summary

HB 888 proposes to increase the civil fine for littering on roads, highways and private property to $100‑$500 and to double those fines for repeat offenders. It also amends the state's illegal‑dumping statutes, creating higher penalties—including misdemeanors and felonies—based on the amount and type of waste. The bill directs collected fines and a $100 assessment per violation to local litter‑prevention projects and a scholarship fund for children of fallen or disabled law‑enforcement officers and firefighters.
