AI Summary
This bill amends an existing Pennsylvania law about waste tire recycling by introducing new mandatory requirements for tire replacement. When a vehicle owner brings a car to a business to replace a tire, the business must now retain the old tire for recycling purposes and the customer cannot take the waste tire with them. The bill applies to tires that no longer meet safety inspection standards or are expected to fail safety standards within the next three months, but does not apply to tires that can be patched or repaired. The provision defines a vehicle according to the existing Pennsylvania vehicle code definition. The new requirements aim to ensure proper disposal and recycling of waste tires, potentially reducing environmental waste and promoting more sustainable tire management practices. The bill will take effect 60 days after its passage, giving businesses time to adjust to the new recycling mandate.
