Official summary
Abstract published by the legislature (via Open States). Text as published by the legislature; reproduced verbatim.
Waste tire disposal by producers and haulers; fee; requirements. Requires a hauler, as defined in the bill, to (i) register and submit a quarterly report with the Department of Environmental Quality, (ii) provide financial assurance in the form of a bond, and (iii) transfer all waste tires and speculatively accumulated waste tires to a transfer station, material recovery facility, landfill with a solid waste permit as required by law, waste tire end user, or waste tire processing facility. The bill requires a waste tire processing facility, as defined in the bill, to also submit a quarterly report to the Department and carry financial assurance in the form of a bond. The bill expands the purpose of the Waste Tire Trust Fund to include paying the costs of implementing the waste tire disposal requirements of haulers, paying the costs of removing waste tires during a locality-led amnesty day, and funding research, studies, and demonstration projects that stimulate the growth of existing and emerging markets for waste tires. Finally, the bill increases the tire recycling fee from $0.50 to $2 beginning July 1, 2026, and directs the Waste Management Board to adopt regulations to implement the provisions of the bill. The bill has a delayed effective date of July 1, 2026.
