Bill Summary
AN ACT To amend and reenact R.S. 30:2025(D)(1), relative to the assessment of civil penalties for the expedited enforcement program; to increase the amount of assessed fines to which the expedited enforcement provisions apply; and to provide for related matters.
AI Summary
This bill amends Louisiana Revised Statutes 30:2025, which governs the state's expedited enforcement program for environmental violations. Specifically, the bill increases the maximum civil penalty that can be assessed through this program from $3,000 to $5,000 per violation, and raises the aggregate total penalty limit for a single violator from $5,000 to $10,000. The expedited enforcement program allows the secretary of the environmental regulatory agency to issue citations for minor or moderate violations without going through a comprehensive legal review process. By increasing these penalty amounts, the bill enables regulators to impose more significant financial consequences for environmental infractions while maintaining a streamlined enforcement mechanism. The changes are intended to potentially enhance compliance by making the financial risks of violations more substantial, without requiring a full legal proceeding for each citation.
