A bill by Monrovia's Assemblymember, Chris Holden, to increase penalties for vandalism and illegal dumping in the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy (which includes parts of the San Gabriel Mountains) was approved late Monday in the Assembly Natural Resources Committee. AB 1767 would increase the maximum fine for dumping, defacing or destroying property on Conservancy properties to $1,500 and would increase the fine for infractions to not more than $750.
