CHARLESTON, WV (AP) — A West Virginia Senate committee
has amended and unanimously approved a bill that would toughen the
penalties on coal mine protesters.
The bill advanced Tuesday would
make it a felony to damage or remove any equipment from a coal facility
that could be construed as promoting health or safety. It would be
punishable by up to three years in jail and a $10,000 fine.
The
amended version of the bill is much less harsh than the original
version. The original would have instituted a fine of $500 to $1,000 for
trespassing on a coal mine. Trespassing on regular private property is
punishable by a fine of $100.
It would have made graffiti on a coal mine a felony and mandated a minimum of one year in jail.
