HB 142 Engrossed 2018 Regular Session Lyons
Abstract: Increases the waste tire fee collected for passenger/light truck/small farm tires.
Present law provides that $2 per passenger/light truck tire, $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 on passenger/light truck tires from $2 to $2.25.
