	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 513, as amended, 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   for certain public agency  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   public 
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.
