AB 513, as amended, Frazier. Tire recycling program: rubberized asphalt.
The California Tire Recycling Act requires a person who purchases a new tire to pay a California tire fee, for deposit in the California Tire Recycling Management Fund, for expenditure by the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery, upon appropriation by the Legislature, to pay the costs of operating the tire recycling program. The act provides that the tire recycling program may include the awarding of grants, loans, subsidies, and rebates and the payment of incentives for various purposes related to reducing landfill disposal of used whole tires and tire recycling.begin insert Existing law requires the moneys in the fund, except as specified, to be appropriated to the department in the annual Budget Act in a manner consistent with the department’s 5-year plan.end insert
This bill would establish the Rubberized Asphalt Concrete Market Development Act and would require the department, in accordance with the tire recycling program, to award grants for certain public agency projects that utilize rubberized asphalt concrete.begin delete The bill, on January 1, 2014, and January 1 of each year thereafter, would require the Controller to transfer $10,000,000 from the moneys authorized to be expended for the tire recycling
program to the department to award these grants, thereby making an appropriation. The bill, however, would require the Controller to transfer only $5,000,000 from the moneys authorized to be expended for the tire recycling program to the department to award these grants for any year that the Department of Finance determines that the balance of the fund equals $10,000,000 or less. The bill would require the grants to pay $2 for every 12 pounds of crumb rubber used in a paving project by a public agency. The bill would specify selection procedures if the grant requests exceed the
moneys appropriated.end delete
