Bill Summary

Amending the act of December 19, 1996 (P.L.1478, No.190), entitled "An act relating to the recycling and reuse of waste tires; providing for the proper disposal of waste tires and the cleanup of stockpiled tires; authorizing investment tax credits for utilizing waste tires; providing remediation grants for the cleanup of tire piles and for pollution prevention programs for small business and households; establishing the Small Business and Household Pollution Prevention Program and management standards for small business hazardous waste; providing for a household hazardous waste program and for grant programs; making appropriations; and making repeals," in Small Business and Household Pollution Prevention Program, further providing for grants for collection events.

AI Summary

This bill amends the existing law related to waste tire recycling and pollution prevention by increasing the maximum amount of funding the department can spend on household hazardous waste collection events in a single county from $100,000 to $250,000 per fiscal year. By raising the funding cap, the bill aims to provide more financial resources for counties to conduct collection events where residents can safely dispose of hazardous household waste, such as old tires, chemicals, and other potentially environmentally harmful materials. The bill specifies that these changes will take effect 60 days after being enacted, giving local departments time to adjust their budgeting and planning for future waste collection events.
