RÉSUMÉ DIGEST
ACT 541 (HB 142) 2018 Regular Session Lyons
Existing law levies a fee on every tire sold and deposits the fee 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.
Prior law provided that the fees were $2 per passenger/light truck/small farm service tires,
$5 per medium truck tire, and $10 per off-road tire to be collected for every tire sold.
New law retains the fee on medium truck and off-road tires and increases the fees per
passenger/light truck/small farm service tire from $2 to $2.25 beginning Oct. 1, 2018,
through July 31, 2022. New law provides that beginning Aug. 1, 2022, the fee per
passenger/light truck/small farm service tire will be $2.
Effective August 1, 2018.
