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, creating a comprehensive tire inventory database. Under the proposed legislation, retailers must record and report the purchaser's name, the model and serial number of each tire, and the date of sale. The Department of Health will be responsible for establishing and maintaining this database, with each record to be kept for a specified number of years. The bill aims to discourage illegal tire dumping by creating a tracking mechanism that could help hold individuals accountable for improper tire disposal. Violations of the reporting requirements by tire retailers will result in fines, providing an additional incentive for compliance. The legislative findings highlight that tire dumping creates serious health and environmental concerns, and this bill is intended to create a systematic approach to tracking tire sales and potentially reducing illegal dumping on public and private properties in Hawaii.
