New Jersey bill A1589 designates Earth Day week as Litter Law Enforcement Week to boost litter law enforcement.

New Jersey bill A1589 designates the week in which Earth Day, April 22nd, occurs each year as Litter Law Enforcement Week. During this week, the Department of Environmental Protection and the New Jersey State Police must prioritize enforcement of the state's litter laws unless prevented by an emergency or crisis. The bill encourages municipal and county law enforcement agencies and prosecutors to participate in this effort and provides support to those who do. Fines collected during Litter Law Enforcement Week are to be deposited into specific state funds for litter abatement purposes.
