The littering offense is associated with which statute?

• A. 14-299
• B. 14-18a
• C. 22a-250a
• D. 53a-167a

Answer: (C)

Littering is treated as an environmental offense, defined and penalized within environmental protection laws rather than the broad criminal code. The statute 22a-250a specifically addresses littering, including disposing of litter on land or from a vehicle, and sets the related prohibitions and penalties. Because littering involves environmental harm and public health considerations, it belongs under environmental protections, making this statute the correct reference. The other statutes cover topics unrelated to littering (such as weapons-related offenses or other criminal provisions), so they do not govern littering.
