Relating to the establishment of a grant program to support the elimination of illegally disposed of scrap tires.

HB 464 establishes a grant program to help counties address illegally dumped scrap tires. The bill creates a dedicated fund (using state appropriations, federal grants, and interest) to award grants to counties for three specific purposes: prosecuting violations of existing scrap tire disposal laws, educating the public about illegal dumping, and removing existing illegally dumped tires from waterways, public rights-of-way, and public land. Counties would use these grants to directly tackle tire litter that harms the environment and public spaces. The program becomes effective September 1, 2025, following its passage on May 10, 2025.
