Litter control officers

Chamber Passed·2/18/25

South Carolina H3222 amends litter control officer regulations, setting limits based on population and clarifying arrest powers.

South Carolina H3222 amends the state code to revise the number of litter control officers a county can appoint and commission. The bill sets a limit of one officer for every twenty-five thousand persons based on the most recent census, with a minimum of one officer per county. It also clarifies that litter control officers can only exercise arrest powers related to their primary duties of enforcing litter control laws and ordinances, and not for other state and local laws and ordinances unless an arrest for litter control violations is being made.
