TO AMEND THE USED TIRE RECYCLING AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT; TO CREATE THE TIRE MANAGEMENT AND RECYCLING ACT; TO REPEAL THE USED TIRE RECYCLING FUND; AND TO CREATE THE WASTE TIRE ABATEMENT FUND.

Senate Bill 606 aims to revise Arkansas's system for managing used tires. It would repeal the existing Used Tire Recycling and Accountability Act and its associated fund, replacing them with a new Tire Management and Recycling Act and a Waste Tire Abatement Fund. The bill clarifies that fees for tire management would apply to subsequent retail sales. This legislation primarily affects tire retailers by establishing new regulations and a new funding mechanism for waste tire abatement.
