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


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 513, 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 tire recycling act. The bill would
make the act inoperative on June 30, 2019, and would repeal the act
on January 1, 2020.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 42872.1 is added to the Public Resources Code,
to read:
   42872.1.  (a) This section shall be known, and may be cited, as
the Rubberized Asphalt Concrete Market Development Act.
   (b) In accordance with the tire recycling program authorized by
Section 42872, the department shall award grants in the following
manner:
   (1) To cities, counties, and other local governmental agencies for
the funding of public works projects that utilize rubberized asphalt
concrete.
   (2) To state and local governmental agencies, including regional
park districts, for the funding of disability access projects at
parks and Class I bikeways as defined in subdivision (a) of Section
890.4, relative to projects that utilize rubberized asphalt concrete.

   (c) (1) Except as provided in paragraph (2), the department shall
award the grants pursuant to subdivision (b) in the amount of two
dollars ($2) for every 12 pounds of crumb rubber used in a public
works or disability access project by a state or local governmental
agency, including a regional park district.
   (2) The department may adjust the amount of grants awarded
pursuant to paragraph (1) to an amount that is greater than, or less
than, two dollars ($2) for every 12 pounds of crumb rubber if the
department finds this adjustment would further the purposes of this
article.
   (d) This section shall become inoperative on June 30, 2019, and,
as of January 1, 2020, is repealed, unless a later enacted statute,
that becomes operative on or before January 1, 2020, deletes or
extends the dates on which it becomes inoperative and is repealed.
