Short description: 
CRIM CD-DUMPING GARBAGE-FINES                                              

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Criminal Code of 1961.  Provides that a person  guilty      
   of  dumping  garbage  upon  real property must pay a statutory minimum      
   fine of $500 unless the defendant is indigent.  If  the  defendant  is      
   indigent,  the  court  must  waive  the fine.  If the defendant has an      
   equity interest in a  motor  vehicle  that  was  used  to  commit  the      
   violation, the vehicle is subject to seizure and forfeiture to satisfy      
   payment of the fine.                                                        
        SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                
          Deletes reference to:                                                
          720 ILCS 5/36-1                                                      
        Deletes the provisions that permit the seizure and forfeiture  of      
   vehicles  that  are  used  in the commission of the offense of dumping      
   garbage upon real property.                                                 
        SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 2.                                                
        Provides that if the  court  determines  that  the  defendant  is      
   indigent,  it must require that the defendant choose either to pay the      
   $500 minimum fine  or  to  perform  100  hours  of  community  service      
   (instead of providing that the court must waive the fine).
