George C. Hasay has in- troduced legislation which would provide an added special penalty for littering in “Adopt-A-Highway” zones which volunteers try to keep free of litter. Under the Adopt-A-Highway program, volunteers, with the help of PennDOT, agree to pick up litter on a designated stretch of highway four times a year. The measure Hasay sponsored, a special penalty for littering on these designated stretches of highway. In addition to the regular fines, those found guilty of littering on these highways could be required to pick up litter in the litter-free zone for up to 16 hours of work or spend time in jail if they do not agree to participate ina litter clean up themselves. The normal littering fine is $300. Under current littering laws those found guilty are subject toa $300 fine and are required, if physically able, to pick up litter. For those with no prior offenses, the requirement is not less than 16 hours. Upon a second convic- tion the requirement would be up Rep. Hasay proposes stricter litter law to 32 hours of litter pick up serv- ice “The Adopt-A-Highway pro- § P gram has become very popular throughout the Commonwealth,” Hasay said. “The volunteers work very hard donating their uncom- pensated time to clean up a high- way zone. This special penalty to those wholitter on “Adopt-A-High- way” zones is a way to stahd behind these volunteers who are doing a valuable public service." Hasay said that since the bill amends the vehicle code, it has been referred to the House Trans- portation Committee.
