Bill > SB652

This bill addresses tire dumping in Hawaii by requiring tire retailers to collect and submit specific information about each motor vehicle tire sold to the Department of Health. Specifically, retailers must record and report the purchaser's name, the tire's model and serial number, and the date of sale. The Department of Health will be responsible for establishing and maintaining a comprehensive database containing these tire records, which must be kept for a designated period. The purpose of this legislation is to discourage illegal tire dumping by creating a tracking system that can help hold individuals accountable for improperly disposing of tires. By mandating detailed record-keeping, the bill aims to address the serious health and environmental concerns associated with tire abandonment on public and private properties. Tire retailers who fail to comply with the reporting requirements will be subject to fines for each violation. The bill will take effect upon its approval and does not impact any rights, penalties, or proceedings that existed before its enactment.
