    AN ACT concerning litter control.

 
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
 
represented in the General Assembly:


 
    Section 5. The Litter Control Act is amended  by changing 
Section 8 as follows:
 



    (415 ILCS 105/8)  (from Ch. 38, par. 86-8)



    Sec. 8. Persons who violate any of Sections 4 through 7 are 
subject to the
penalties set out in this Section.

    (a) Any person convicted of a violation of Section 4, 5, 6 
or 7 is
guilty of a Class B misdemeanor.  A second conviction 
for an offense
committed after the first conviction is a Class 
A misdemeanor.  A third or
subsequent violation, committed after 
a second conviction is a Class 4
felony.

    (b) In addition to any fine imposed under this Act, the 
court may order
that the person convicted of such a violation 
remove and properly dispose
of the litter, may employ special 
bailiffs to supervise such removal and
disposal, and may tax 
the costs of such supervision as costs against the
person so 
convicted.

    (c) The penalties prescribed in this Section are in 
addition to, and not
in lieu of, any penalties, rights, 
remedies, duties or liabilities
otherwise imposed or conferred 
by law.

    (d) An individual convicted of violating Section 4 or 
Section 5 of this Act by disposing of litter upon a public 
highway may, in addition to any other penalty, be required to 
maintain litter control for 30 days over a designated portion 
of that highway, including, at the discretion of the agency 
having jurisdiction over the section of highway in question, 
the site where the offense occurred, as provided in Section 50 
of the Illinois Adopt-A-Highway Act.

a public highway may be required to adopt for 30 days a
