A. The legislature finds that the proliferation and accumulation of litter discarded throughout the state constitutes a public nuisance and damages the economy of the state by making it less attractive to tourists and newcomers. There is a need to anticipate, plan for and accomplish effective litter control through a state-coordinated plan of education, control, prevention, recycling and elimination.
B. The purpose of the Litter Control and Beautification Act is to accomplish litter control by vesting in the department authority to eliminate litter from the state to the maximum practical extent. The department shall aid in establishing a statewide keep America beautiful system program. The department shall cooperate with cities, counties and other departments of state government in developing a statewide litter and solid waste reduction program.
C. The Litter Control and Beautification Act is intended to add to and coordinate existing litter control and removal efforts, except as specifically stated in that act.
History: Laws 1985, ch. 23, § 2; 1989, ch. 10, § 1.
The 1989 amendment, effective June 16, 1989, substituted "damages" for "may damage" and inserted "recycling" in the first sentence in Subsection A, and made minor stylistic changes in Subsection B.
