Enacts provisions governing intentional balloon releases in St. Louis City
HB 2087 prohibits intentionally releasing balloons into the atmosphere on private or public property within any incorporated city (like St. Louis City), including banning events that promote such releases. It exempts indoor releases, approved scientific research, fully recovered hot air balloons, and military/emergency operations. Violators face civil fines starting at $100 per balloon for a first offense, increasing to $500 for repeat offenses, plus $2,500 per event for businesses sponsoring releases. Enforcement is handled by city environmental departments, police, and allows residents to report violations via city hotlines or services.
