Ah yes! HB 1075
To provide for more severe penalties when a "Dirtbag" <(this should be added to the actual verbiage of the bill), throws cigarette butts on the ground and out the car window on to the street!
They ain't messing around! Passed the House 95-1
For simple cigarette littering (not out of a car window): a first offender would be fined $250 and eight hours of community service; a second offender would be fined $500 and 16 hours of community service; and a third and subsequent offender would be fined $1,250 and 80 hours of community service.
Throwing a cigarette out of a moving vehicle, however, would incur higher fines under Connick's legislation. A first offender would be fined $300, a second $700 and a third and subsequent $1,500. The same community services hours would apply.

Now remember! When this comes up in the Senate, I want you all to stop what you're doing and call your Senator.
