AN ACT AUTHORIZING CERTAIN MUNICIPAL FINES FOR DISCARDING TIRES IN WATERWAYS.

HB 6270 allows towns to impose fines of up to $500 for illegally discarding tires in public waterways. The bill authorizes municipalities to collect these fines and use the funds exclusively for local environmental projects. It directly affects residents and businesses that improperly dispose of tires in rivers, lakes, or other waterways. The law aims to protect water quality, wildlife, and public health by reducing tire pollution in aquatic environments.
