2001 House Bill 5380 ↩

Senate Roll Call 728: Passed

To prohibit discarding scrap tires anywhere except at a registered collection site, landfill, end-user, scrap-tire processor, tire retailer, or scrap tire recycler; and to require removal of scrap tires only by a registered scrap tire hauler. The bill would establish new and revised regulations and new definitions for scrap tire haulers, recyclers, storage facilities, products, etc. It would revise the current definitions of scrap tire and collection site, and also delete current provisions concerning the disposal of scrap tires by a retailer; delete certain products, such as crumb rubber made from scrap tires, from regulation; and delete a current requirement that the Department of Environmental Quality request that local health departments provide a list of all known significant tire piles. The bill is tie barred to Senate Bill 1324, which would increase to $1.50 the tire disposal surcharge fee tacked on to vehicle title fees.
