Relates to prohibiting illegal dumping on public property

S 2159 prohibits dumping trash, garbage, or offensive matter on public property like streets, parks, or waterways. It imposes fines of $500 for a first offense (increasing to $1,000 for repeat offenses) plus costs for clean-up. The bill also creates a reward system where witnesses providing evidence - such as photos of license plates or videos - can receive a reward from the commissioner if their evidence leads to a fine. This directly affects anyone who illegally dumps waste on public spaces and encourages public reporting to enforce the rule.
