SB 5350: Unlawful solid waste dumping

Concerning the unlawful dumping of solid waste.

Summary

  • Requires an enforcing authority to take reasonable action to determine and identify the person responsible for illegally dumping solid waste before requiring the owner or lessee of the property to clean up the site where illegal dumping of solid waste has occurred.
  • Requires a jurisdictional health department to reserve one-half of the restitution payment it receives to assist property owners with clean up when the person responsible for the illegal dumping of solid waste cannot be determined.
  • Prohibits a landowner from receiving any portion of the litter cleanup restitution payment ordered by the court if the landowner authorized or assisted a person with littering on the landowner's property.
  • Removes the provision allowing the court to order an offender to pick up and remove litter in lieu of restitution.
