SB 761 Improper disposal of solid waste; penalties.
Introduced by: Charles R. Hawkins | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY:
Improper disposal of solid waste; penalties. Provides standing to political subdivisions to pursue civil actions against those who improperly dispose of solid waste within the locality's jurisdiction. In addition, a rebuttable presumption, for purposes of civil actions, is created that the owner or operator of a motor vehicle from which solid waste is ejected is the person who ejected the waste unless the owner is the lessor of the vehicle. The maximum civil penalty for improper disposal of solid waste pursuant to § 10.1-1418.1 is increased from $200 to $5,000. Provisions related to the improper disposal of tires are also changed by reducing from 500 to 100 the number of tires that may be placed on property without a permit. Improper disposal of 100 to 500 tires is made a Class 1 misdemeanor while the Class 6 felony penalty for improperly disposing of more than 500 tires is retained.
