DE SB114

Establishes a tiered penalty system for state park violations: Class D environmental violations ($50-$100 fine plus costs for first offense; $100-$500 for subsequent offense within 5 years) and unclassified misdemeanors ($50-$250 fine plus costs or up to 10 days imprisonment).

First offense Class D environmental violations will not appear on criminal history records for employment purposes under Delaware law; subsequent convictions within 5 years will be reported.

Maintains civil penalties for parking violations in state parks at $10-$25, which do not qualify as criminal offenses or prior convictions.

Prohibits suspension of minimum prescribed fines and requires restitution for property damage in state parks, with option for court-ordered work projects.

Becomes effective upon publication of final regulations or April 1, 2016, whichever comes first.
