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.
