Senate Bill 1442 establishes comprehensive litter abatement and control measures in Tipton County. The bill defines key terms such as "garbage," "litter," and "refuse," and outlines various responsibilities for individuals, businesses, and property owners to maintain a litter-free environment. It prohibits the accumulation of refuse that could attract rodents or create health hazards, mandates that household refuse be placed in closed containers, and requires commercial establishments to use designated dumpsters. Additionally, the bill emphasizes the responsibility of construction sites, loading docks, and outdoor event organizers to manage litter effectively.

The legislation also includes provisions for the maintenance of public spaces, such as prohibiting the placement of political posters on public property and ensuring that parking lots remain clean. It establishes penalties for violations, with fines ranging from $25 to $50 for each day a violation persists. The bill requires a two-thirds vote from the Tipton County legislative body for it to take effect, with immediate enforcement for public welfare purposes upon approval.
