COLUMBIA – The S.C. House passed a bill Tuesday that substantially cuts fines for littering in the Palmetto State. Rep. Chandra Dillard, (D-Greenville) pushed for the reduction. Instead of a $450 fine for tossing less than 15 pounds of litter, the bill passed Tuesday drops the fine for littering to $25 to $100.
