Fiscal Note Summary
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
Summarize in a clear and concise manner what impact this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
The purpose of this bill is to limit the civil penalty for persons convicted of littering to an amount up to $2,000.
Currently, magistrate court clerks remit 50% of the civil penalty to the Treasurer for deposit into the Litter Control Fund and remit the other 50% to the county or regional solid waste authority in the county in which the violation occurred. By changing the civil penalty from a set amount of $2,000 to an amount up to $2,000, the amounts collected will be less. With the civil penalty being in the discretion of the magistrate, there is no way to estimate the reduction.
