AI Summary

This bill amends the Environmental Conservation Law to increase penalties for repeat offenders who endanger public health, safety, or the environment. It creates a new tier of offenses for those who have been previously convicted of certain environmental crimes within the past 10 years. The new provisions increase the severity of the charges, with repeat offenders facing higher level felonies for subsequent violations. The bill aims to hold accountable those who persistently engage in conduct that puts the public and the environment at risk, even after prior convictions.
