Abstract: Increases the waste tire fee collected for passenger/light truck/small farm service
tires from $2 per tire to $2.25 per tire beginning October 1, 2018, through July 31,
2022.
Present law provides that $2 per passenger/light truck/small farm service tires, $5 per
medium truck tire, and $10 per off-road tire be collected for every tire sold. These fees are
deposited into the Waste Tire Management Fund which is used to operate the waste tire
program in the Dept. of Environmental Quality. One aspect of that program is to reimburse
waste tire processors from the fund for scrapping waste tires generated within the state.
Proposed law increases the fees per passenger/light truck/small farm service tire from $2 to
$2.25 beginning Oct. 1, 2018, through July 31, 2022. Proposed law provides that beginning
Aug. 1, 2022, the fee per passenger/light truck/small farm service tire will be $2.
