Staff Analysis of the Legislation

This legislation extends the sunset for the scrap tire fee from June 30, 2014, until June 30, 2019. This fee generates about $6 million annually and is supposed to fund the Solid Waste Trust Fund (for scrap tire clean up, landfill clean ups, litter reduction and recycling efforts at the local level). Over 60 percent of all funds have been redirected to balance the state's general fund since 2004 instead of being used for their statutorily-designated purpose.
