Illegal dumping.

Removed county jail imprisonment (up to 6 months) as a penalty option for a fourth or subsequent infraction-level violation under Section 374.3(c). The penalty is now a fine of no more than $5,000 only, with no jail time.

Removed the redundant fourth-or-subsequent-violation penalty sentence from subdivision (c)(1), since that penalty is already specified in subdivision (e)(2).

Corrected garbled cross-reference in subdivision (c)(1) from 'subdivision (h) subdivisions (h) and (i)' to 'subdivisions (h) and (i)', fixing a drafting error from the Senate amendment.

Subdivisions (c)(1) and (e)(1) now reference 'subdivisions (h) and (i)' instead of just 'subdivision (h),' meaning the infraction escalation and mandatory fine provisions do not apply when the commercial quantity penalties in subdivision (i) are triggered. This prevents double-penalization for large-scale dumping.

The penalty for a fourth or subsequent violation under subdivision (e)(2) was adjusted to clarify or increase the maximum fine to $5,000, per the Senate amendment summary language.

Subdivision (i), which covers commercial dumping in excess of 50 cubic yards, had its explicit state prison terms ('imprisonment in state prison for a term of 16 months, 2 years, or 3 years') removed. The text now only references 'pursuant to subdivision (h) of Section 1170' without specifying the felony sentencing range, potentially narrowing the penalty to a misdemeanor (county jail) rather than allowing a felony state prison sentence.

A typo in subdivision (h)(4)(B) was corrected: 'license licensee' was changed to 'licensee.'

Removed the provision in subdivision (c)(1) stating that each day waste matter remains on property after an illegal dumping constitutes a separate violation. This significantly reduces the number of charges that can be stacked against a single dumping event.

Simplified the penalty for a fourth or subsequent violation: removed the language 'is guilty of a misdemeanor' and the mandatory fine range of $3,000 to $5,000. Replaced with a more flexible standard allowing a fine of up to $5,000, county jail up to six months, or both at the court's discretion.

Added the phrase 'pursuant to subdivision (h) of Section 1170' to the felony penalty in subdivision (i) for commercial quantities exceeding 50 cubic yards. This ties the state prison sentence (16 months, 2 years, or 3 years) to California's realignment framework, which affects how sentencing credits and parole are handled.

Fixed several typos: 'dirt dirt' corrected to 'dirt', 'license or permitholder' corrected to 'licensee or permitholder', coauthor name 'Harabedian Alanis' corrected to separate names 'Alanis' and 'Harabedian', and removed duplicate subsection numbering (a stray '(j)' and '(k)').

New provision states that visible rocks, concrete, asphalt, dirt, or construction debris in a vehicle does not by itself constitute reasonable suspicion to stop or detain a person, or probable cause to arrest them. This limits police discretion in traffic stops related to suspected dumping.

New exemption: a person who completed illegal dumping during employment at the direction of their employer, and who did not have ownership, managerial, or decisionmaking authority over the business responsible, cannot be charged with commercial-quantity dumping under subdivision (i). This protects low-level workers from criminal liability.

The permit trigger for private property violations was narrowed from 'requires a permit or license from a state or local agency' to 'requires a solid waste facility permit or license from a state or local agency,' limiting the provision's reach to specifically solid waste facility permits rather than any type of permit.

The infraction-level penalty was made explicit in subdivision (c)(1): a fine not exceeding $5,000 or imprisonment in county jail for no more than six months, or both. The introduced version classified the offense as an infraction without stating the specific penalty in that subdivision.
