HB56

Prohibits placing or dropping injurious materials on highways and roads to protect drivers and pedestrians.

Aims to deter individuals from placing or dropping injurious materials on highways, lanes, roads, streets, and alleys. It prohibits the intentional placement or dropping of items such as tacks, bottles, wires, glass, nails, screws, or other articles that could damage vehicles, people, or animals. Violators face penalties, escalating from petty misdemeanors to class C felonies based on prior convictions and intent to cause harm. The bill also mandates immediate removal of any dropped injurious materials by the person responsible.
