Environment (Public Lands)

This bill updates Pennsylvania law to make it a crime to scatter various types of waste, including paper, grass clippings, glass, and other rubbish, onto roads, public lands, or into waterways. It directly affects anyone who deposits these materials in public spaces or on private property without permission. The legislation clarifies the specific items considered illegal to scatter and establishes the legal offense for doing so. The changes will become effective 60 days after the bill is passed.
