Senate Bill 1992 amends the Transportation Code to provide a civil penalty for a violation of the law regulating automobile wrecking and salvage yards in a county with a population of 3.3 million or more. The bill authorizes a separate penalty to be imposed for each day a continuing violation occurs and authorizes a district, county, or municipal attorney to bring suit to collect the penalty. The bill entitles a county or municipality, in addition to a person, to an injunction to prohibit a violation or threatened violation of that law.
