Substitute offered in the House on February 2, 2015
Increases the penalties for littering in a small amount to $200, up from $50. Increases the penalties for dropping material on a state road to $200, up from $87. Directs the money received by the state from the increases in the littering and debris deposition fines to State Parks operations and maintenance. The substitute bill requires county courts to remit to the Account the additional funds received as a result of the increase in penalties for littering and for dropping materials onto state roads, rather than requiring only municipal courts to remit those funds.
