Class 2 municipalities, scrap tires, enforcement of Scrap Tire Environmental Quality Act, jurisdiction of municipality court, criminal penalties

HB 145 authorizes Class 2 municipalities to locally enforce the Alabama Scrap Tire Environmental Quality Act. This allows them to establish delegation agreements with the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) for oversight of scrap tire activities. The bill grants municipal courts in these Class 2 municipalities jurisdiction over violations and establishes specific criminal penalties, including Class C, B, or A misdemeanors, for offenses like illegal accumulation, processing, or transportation of scrap tires.
