    House committee substitute to the 2nd edition adds the following content.

    Amends GS 130A-309.54 to provide that Article 5B (Scrap Tire Disposal Tax) of GS Chapter 105 imposes a tax on new tires to provide funds for the disposal of scrap tires (previously also included providing funds for the cleanup of inactive hazardous waste sites and for all of the purposes for which the Bernard Allen Memorial Emergency Drinking Water Fund may be used).  Amends GS 130A-309.58 by adding that nothing in Article 9 (Solid Waste Management) prohibits a local government from collecting and shipping, or arranging for the collection and shipment of, scrap tires directly from a tire retailer for permissible disposal purposes.

    House committee substitute amends the 1st edition as follows.

    Further amends GS 130A-309.09C, which provides that local governments that do not comply with the requirements of GS 130A-309.09A(b) (requiring making a good-faith effort to achieve the State's 40% municipal solid waste reduction goal and to comply with the State's comprehensive solid waste management plan), GS 130A-309.09A(d) (requiring annual reporting on the solid waste management programs and waste reduction activities within the unit of local government), and GS 130A-309.09B(a) (including specific requirements for a local government's solid waste reduction program) are not eligible for grants from the Scrap Tire Disposal Account or the White Goods Management Account or entitled to proceeds of the scrap tire disposal tax or white goods disposal tax. Updates statutory cross-references used to provide for each respective tax's permitted use of proceeds withheld pursuant to these provisions. Now allows for the scrap tire disposal tax withheld and credited to the General Fund to be used as provided in GS 130A-309.63 (was, GS 130A-309.64, since repealed), and for the white goods disposal tax withheld and credited to the General Fund to be used as provided in GS 130A-309.82 (was, GS 130A-309.83, since repealed).

    Changes the effective date of the act, now providing that the act is effective October 1, 2022, and applies to quarterly crediting of the proceeds of the scrap tire disposal tax occurring on or after that date (was, effective July 1, 2021).
