Littering; increase fines for.
HB 888 increases penalties for littering in Mississippi. For second or subsequent offenses, fines double to $200-$1,000, and offenders must remove litter, repair damage, or complete community service. The bill also adds a $100 fee per violation, which funds law enforcement monuments until construction is complete, then supports scholarships for children of fallen officers. This applies directly to individuals who discard litter on roads, highways, or public spaces.
