   An act to add  and repeal  Section 42872.1  to
  of  the Public Resources 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, 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.
 
   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.  
   The bill would, in addition to the expenditures authorized by
existing law, annually appropriate $10,000,000, commencing with the
2014 calendar year, to the department from the fees deposited in the
fund, to award those grants. The bill would repeal the act on January
1, 2020. 
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: yes. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.

that date.
