	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Hueso

                        FEBRUARY 17, 2011

   An act to amend Section 42872 of the Public Resources Code,
relating to solid waste.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 750, as introduced, Hueso. Solid waste: waste tires.
   The California Tire Recycling Act imposes a California tire fee on
a new tire purchased in the state. The revenue generated from the
fee is used, upon appropriation by the Legislature, for the purposes
of programs related to waste tires. The act requires the Department
of Resources Recycling and Recovery to administer a tire recycling
program that promotes and develops alternatives to the landfill
disposal of used whole tires. A tire recycling program may include,
among other things, the awarding of grants or loans to businesses
that shred used tires for recycling, and the development of
information and education programs aimed at promoting alternatives to
the landfill disposal of used whole tires.
   This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes in that
provision relating to a tire recycling program.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
