30. SB 1242 3rd Reading

Passage; May 7, 2015; Journal Page 1429; 18 Yeas, 13 Nays

YCT Nay. This bill would require scrap tire; or, used tire generators who store scrap or used tires, to store them in a secure manner locked away during non-business hours. The bill adds specific definitions for the sale, storage, transportation, and disposal of scrap tires or used tire transporters. It would prohibit a customer from retaining a scrap tire removed from the customer's vehicle during the purchase of a tire from a retail seller unless the customer certifies they will assume liability for disposal of the tire as prescribed by TCEQ. YCT opposes increased regulations on private businesses.
