	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Frazier

                        FEBRUARY 20, 2013

   An act to add Section 42872.1 to the Public Resources Code,
relating to tire recycling.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 513, as introduced, Frazier. Tire recycling program: rubberized
asphalt.
   The California Tire Recycling Act (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, 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.
   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 to cities, counties, and
other local government agencies for the funding of public works
projects that utilize rubberized asphalt concrete. The bill would
require the department to annually expend $10,000,000 from the moneys
authorized to be expended for the tire recycling program, upon
appropriation by the Legislature, to award these grants. The bill
would require the grants to pay $2 for every 12 pounds of crumb
rubber used in a paving project by a local government agency. The
bill would specify selection procedures if the grant requests exceed
the money allocated.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
