Code, relating to tire recycling, and making an appropriation
therefor.



	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   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. 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.
   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.
   The bill would require the department to award these grants in the
amount of $2 for every 12 pounds of crumb rubber used in a public
works or disability access project , but would authorize the
department to adjust this rate if it finds that the adjusted amount
would further the purposes of the act  .
   The bill would, in addition to the expenditures authorized by
existing law, annually appropriate $10,000,000  for each fiscal
year  , commencing with the  2014 calendar 
 2014-15 fiscal  year, to the department from the fees
deposited in the fund, to award those grants. The bill would 
make the act inoperative on June 30, 2019, and would  repeal the
act on January 1, 2020.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: yes. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
