IN RE:
HB3085 by Walle (Relating to the regulation of automotive wrecking and salvage yards in certain counties; increasing the civil penalty.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted
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.
