HB 142 Reengrossed 2018 Regular Session Lyons
Abstract: Increases the waste tire fee collected for passenger/light truck/small farm service tires
from $2 per tire to $2.25 per tire 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
through July 31, 2022. Proposed law provides that beginning August 1, 2022, the fee per
passenger/light truck/small farm service tire shall be $2.
