Bill > SB0063

This bill amends the Waste Tire Recycling Act to update definitions and regulations related to waste tire management, with several key changes. The bill expands the definition of "beneficial use" to include shredded waste tires as daily landfill cover and clarifies what does not constitute beneficial use, such as using waste tires in fence construction. It modifies definitions for terms like "chipped tire" and "shredded waste tires" and adds new provisions for waste tire transportation, specifically exempting certain landfill owners from waste tire transporter regulations when moving tires between specific counties for recycling or beneficial use. The bill also updates landfill disposal requirements, mandating that shredded waste tires be separated from other materials, stored in a clean and accessible condition, and potentially retrievable for future recycling. For landfills in certain counties, the bill maintains a $20 per ton reimbursement for proper waste tire disposal, with specific application requirements. Additionally, the bill repeals some existing sections of the law and sets an effective date of March 31, 2026, providing clarity and modernizing waste tire management practices in the state.
