relative to the penalty for incorrect application of fertilizers.

HB 291 proposes a new penalty structure for the incorrect application of fertilizers to urban turf and lawns. The bill would apply to any person or corporate agent who violates existing regulations on fertilizer use. Under the proposed system, a first offense would result in a written warning. A second offense would incur a $250 fine per acre and be classified as a violation. For a third or subsequent offense, the individual or corporate agent would be guilty of a misdemeanor.
