IN RE:
HB3085 by Walle (Relating to the regulation of automotive wrecking and salvage yards in certain counties; increasing the civil penalty.), As Engrossed
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Transportation Code to increase the civil penalty to not more than $5,000, in addition to a criminal penalty, on a person who operates an automotive wrecking and salvage yard in violation of the chapter. A penalty collected would be deposited into the county or municipal treasury, as applicable.
Local Government Impact
There would be a positive fiscal impact to a local governmental entity that would vary depending on the number of violations, the amount of the penalty and the amounts collected.
