DE HB203

Requires permits from the Department of Health and Social Services for all donation bins placed in public places, with an annual fee of at least $100 per bin.

Existing donation bins must apply for licensing within one year of the act's effective date.

Donation bins must meet specific requirements including maximum dimensions of 5 feet by 5 feet and 8 feet in height, be locked and secure, display owner information in 3-inch letters, and be regularly emptied to prevent overflow.

Establishes administrative penalties of $100 for first violations and $500 for subsequent violations, with authorization for the Department to seize bins after a third violation.

Permits seized bins to be appealed through Justice of the Peace Court within 10 business days, with the court holding a hearing within 30 days to determine if seizure was proper.
