Introduced
by
To require the Department of Environmental Quality to establish and maintain a statewide toll-free telephone number to receive information on littering violations. The bill is tie-barred to Senate Bill 532, meaning it cannot become law unless that bill also becomes law. Senate Bill 532 would provide rewards to persons who materially contribute to the imposition of civil fines against litterers or illegal dumpers. The reward would be equivalent to half the fine collected.
Referred to the Committee on Natural Resources and Environmental Affairs
Reported without amendment

Substitute offered
To replace the previous version of the bill with one that transfers the proposed hotline to the Department of Transportation, and which is not tie-barred to Senate Bill 532, which authorizes rewards for illegal dumping informants.
