Bill > S0171

This bill amends South Carolina's laws regarding waste tires by establishing comprehensive regulations for tire hauling, defining safety standards for used tires, and creating systems for tracking and managing waste tire disposal. Specifically, the bill introduces new requirements for waste tire haulers, mandating that they complete detailed manifests when transporting 15 or more waste tires, display a registration decal on their vehicle, and submit documentation to state authorities. The bill also prohibits the installation of unsafe used tires on passenger cars and light trucks, defining "unsafe" as tires with excessive wear, damage, improper repairs, or other critical defects. Additionally, the legislation modifies existing provisions related to tire recycling fees, allowing counties to charge up to $400 per ton for waste tire disposal and establishing a framework for developing a statewide market infrastructure for tire-derived products. The bill aims to improve tire recycling practices, enhance safety standards, and create more efficient waste tire management processes in South Carolina.
