St. Germain HB No. 1067
Abstract: Provides for the payment to waste tire processors.
Present law requires that waste tire processing facility be paid by DEQ a minimum of $1.50
per 20 lbs. of waste tire material, which equals 7-½¢ per pound, that is recycled or that
reaches end-market uses or per 20 lbs. of whole waste tires marketed and shipped to a
qualified recycler.
Proposed law changes the calculation of the payment to waste tire processing facilities to
7-½¢ per pound of waste tire material that is recycled or that reaches end-market uses.
Present law conditions payment on the facility providing to DEQ any documentation,
including but not limited to manifests, statements, or certified scale-weight tickets, required
by law or by rules and regulations promulgated by the department.
Proposed law retains present law.
