Under existing law, the crime of criminal littering may be enforced by a law enforcement officer.
This bill would authorize enforcement of criminal littering by the county solid waste officer and, upon approval of the county commission, by the county license inspector.
This bill would delete the requirement that there be an accumulation of certain items to create a presumption of littering.
The bill would also further provide for the distribution of fines for litter enforcement.
