Bill Summary
An act to amend Section 374.3 of the Penal Code, relating to illegal dumping.
AI Summary
This bill makes technical, nonsubstantive changes to existing California law that prohibits illegal dumping. The law currently makes it unlawful to dump waste matter on public or private property without consent, or in parks, and also prohibits dumping rocks, concrete, asphalt, or dirt in certain locations. Violations are typically infractions, but dumping in "commercial quantities" (defined as waste generated by a business or an amount equal to or exceeding one cubic yard) is a misdemeanor with escalating fines and potential jail time for repeat offenses. The bill's changes primarily involve minor wording adjustments, such as replacing "which" with "that" in certain sentences and ensuring consistent punctuation, without altering the substance or penalties of the illegal dumping laws.
