What’s in it
This bill prohibits a person from possessing a glass beverage container while on a class “A1”, class “A2”, or class “A3” water, as designated by the environmental protection commission (EPC) by rule. A person who violates the bill is subject to a civil penalty of $90. A person does not violate the bill if the person is in possession of a glass beverage container or other glass debris that the person has removed from the water for litter removal purposes. The bill establishes a waterway easement fund in the state treasury under the control of the department of natural resources (DNR).
