This bill would allow Class 2 municipalities, cities with populations between 175,000 and 299,999, to enter into agreements with ADEM to assume enforcement responsibilities within their jurisdictions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This means certain cities could be more active in regulating scrap tire disposal and ensuring compliance with state law. The bill also gives municipal courts the authority to handle violations of the Scrap Tire Act, streamlining prosecution at the local level.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One of the most notable changes in this bill is the introduction of criminal penalties for improper scrap tire management, classifying certain offenses as misdemeanors. Anyone found to be accumulating scrap tires in violation of the law would be charged with a Class C misdemeanor. Processing scrap tires without compliance or transporting them unlawfully would be Class B and Class A misdemeanors, respectfully.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Illegal dumping of scrap tires is an environmental and public health concern in Alabama. Abandoned tires can become breeding grounds for mosquitoes and create fire hazards.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If passed, the bill would become law on June 1, 2025.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-6\" style=\"margin: 8px auto; text-align: center; display: block; clear: both;\">\n<div class=\"zox-post-ad-wrap\"><span class=\"zox-ad-label\">Advertisement.
