AN ACT concerning litter control.
|
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
|
represented in the General Assembly:
|
Section 5. The Litter Control Act is amended by changing |
Section 8 as follows:
|
(415 ILCS 105/8) (from Ch. 38, par. 86-8)
|
Sec. 8. Persons who violate any of Sections 4 through 7 are |
subject to the
penalties set out in this Section.
|
(a) Any person convicted of a violation of Section 4, 5, 6 |
or 7 is
guilty of a Class B misdemeanor. A second conviction |
for an offense
committed after the first conviction is a Class |
A misdemeanor. A third or
subsequent violation, committed after |
a second conviction is a Class 4
felony.
|
(b) In addition to any fine imposed under this Act, the |
court may order
that the person convicted of such a violation |
remove and properly dispose
of the litter, may employ special |
bailiffs to supervise such removal and
disposal, and may tax |
the costs of such supervision as costs against the
person so |
convicted.
|
(c) The penalties prescribed in this Section are in |
addition to, and not
in lieu of, any penalties, rights, |
remedies, duties or liabilities
otherwise imposed or conferred |
by law.
|
(d) An individual convicted of violating Section 4 or |
Section 5 of this Act by disposing of litter upon a public |
highway may, in addition to any other penalty, be required to |
maintain litter control for 30 days over a designated portion |
of that highway, including, at the discretion of the agency |
having jurisdiction over the section of highway in question, |
the site where the offense occurred, as provided in Section 50 |
of the Illinois Adopt-A-Highway Act.
