The bill SB2006 aims to amend the classification of offenses related to unlawful disposal of sewage, specifically increasing penalties for those engaged in the business of removing accumulated wastes from subsurface sewage disposal systems. The sponsor, Tom Hatcher, has various personal financial interests, including employment with SS, TCRS Retirement, and Volunteer Graphics, as well as serving as the CEO of Tom Hatcher Charity. However, there are no direct overlaps between these interests and the waste disposal industry or the specific impacts of the bill. The absence of any business ownership or direct involvement in the sewage disposal sector indicates that the bill is unlikely to result in any personal financial gain for the sponsor. Therefore, the risk of conflict of interest is assessed as low.
Unlike federal analysis based on campaign donations, state analysis examines legislators' personal financial interests — their jobs, businesses, and investments.
