Modifies the offense of littering

HB 1164 modifies Missouri's littering law to specifically address the intentional outdoor release or abandonment of balloons. It imposes tiered fines based on balloon quantity: $100-$500 for 10 or fewer balloons on a first offense, $500+ for 11+ balloons, with higher fines for repeat violations. The law excludes unintentional releases and certain scientific or hot air balloons used for observation. This directly affects individuals who intentionally release balloons outdoors, adding specific penalties to existing littering statutes.
