HB 192 -- Waste Tires Sponsor: Sander The waste tire fee expired on January 1, 2004. This bill reimposes the fee until January 1, 2008. The Department of Natural Resources must give preference to contract bids for waste tire cleanups from vendors that are Missouri residents, employ Missouri workers, or use the tires for fuel or to manufacture a useful product. The department may consider prior performance in the awarding of the contract. A vendor will not be given a preference for a bid to fill a landfill with waste tires, waste tire chips, or waste tire shreds, including landfill cover. The collection fee retained by the Department of Revenue is reduced from 4% to 2%.Copyright (c) Missouri House of Representatives
