11. Ordinances.   Chapter 141, but only with respect to animal control ordinances, subject to Title 7, section 3950, and the sale and use of consumer fireworks within the plantation, subject to Title 8, section 223-A, and the accumulation of garbage, refuse, rubbish or trash or unwanted or discarded material of any kind or source on private property.’

This amendment limits the applicability of the bill to plantations. It removes reference to junkyards and automobile graveyards. It grants plantations the authority to enact ordinances with respect to the accumulation of garbage, refuse, rubbish or trash or unwanted or discarded material of any kind on private property.
