Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 1 costs, 3 mixed.
Grants to use recycled tires capped
Up to 15% of the scrap tire account may fund grants that encourage use of processed tire materials, like tire‑derived fuel or crumb rubber. These grants are made with input from Commerce and other agencies. Grant money cannot be used to process tires.
More local tire grants, with limits
The Department of Environmental Quality may use up to 75% of the scrap tire account for grants that help local governments dispose of tires. A unit qualifies only if its tire disposal costs in the prior six months were more than the scrap tire tax money it got in that time. Any grant cannot be more than that unpaid amount. The Department sets application rules and picks based on need, ability to finish disposal, and efforts to limit free dumping to in‑state tires.
Stronger oversight and cleanup focus
Local governments that break the listed solid waste rules cannot receive scrap tire or white goods grants, and the state withholds their scrap tire and white goods tax payments. The Secretary of Environmental Quality notifies the Secretary of Revenue to withhold, and the money is credited to the General Fund as provided by law. The Department may use up to $175,000 from the account for admin costs and one staff person to help local programs. Any leftover account funds may be used only to clean up illegal nuisance tire sites, and only when no other money is available. The law also repeals G.S. 130A‑309.64.
Tire tax now shared by population
Beginning October 1, 2025, the state sends 30% of net scrap tire tax to the General Fund each quarter and shares 70% with counties by population. Counties may spend these dollars only on scrap tire disposal or to abate a tire nuisance. If the Scrap Tire Disposal Account holds more than $300,000 at fiscal year end, the extra goes to the Highway Fund.
