Relating to procedure for citations issued by county litter control officer
Senate Bill 211 clarifies the procedure for county litter control officers issuing citations for litter violations in West Virginia. It requires officers to investigate and determine violations before issuing citations for issues like open dumps or improper waste disposal, then mandates written complaints served to property owners with a 10-day window to request a hearing. If a hearing is requested, the county commission must schedule it within 20 days, with the enforcement agency bearing the burden of proof by a preponderance of evidence. This bill directly affects county litter control officers, property owners receiving citations, and county commissions handling enforcement.
