An Act relative to littering

H 4976 prohibits motor vehicle operators from littering or allowing occupants to litter from their vehicles on public or private property. It directly affects drivers who dispose of trash or garbage from their vehicles. Violations are classified as civil infractions, with escalating fines: $100 for a first offense, $250 for a second, and $500 for third or subsequent offenses. A third or subsequent offense also triggers an additional surcharge under related law. The bill takes effect upon passage.
