HB0322 - Tire Recycling Fee Modifications

State Impact:
Provisions of this bill increases the recycling fee charged on new tires sold with rim diameters 22.5 inches through 24.5 inches by $1 per tire. This increase is estimated to generate $333,600 in additional revenue to the Waste Tire Recycling Fund. It is anticipated that $8,300 will be returned to the tire dealers, $8,100 to the Tax Commission, and $317,200 to Waste Tire Recycling Fund to fill the gap experienced the past few years created by reimbursements to tire recyclers as permitted in the current statute.
