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 waste tire recycling, providing for replacement tires.

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.
