SECTION D. PROPOSED LEGISLATION OF CONCERN (Cont.) <br /> <br />2. Environmental Protection Bills (Cont.) <br /> <br />Oppose: <br /> <br />S52/H90 <br /> <br />S54 <br /> <br />S55/H89 <br /> <br />S57/H83 <br /> <br />"To prohibit the distribution, sale, and offering for sale of plastic containers produced from <br />polyvlnyl chloride." Sen. Fountain Odom (Mecklenburg) and Rep. FoyIe Hightower (Anson). Thesse <br />bill, referred to the Senate and House Environment Committee, would amend G.S. 130A-309.10 beg]n- <br />n]ng after January 1, 1994, to prohibit sale, distribution or offering for sale in the State of any plastic con- <br />tainer product made with polyvinyl chloride, and eliminate the designation "V 3" from container marking <br />required by that statute. <br /> <br />"To impose an advance disposal tax on small quantities of new household hazardous items and to <br />require each county to provide a site for the collection and disposal of household hazardous waste." <br />Sen. Fountain Odom (Mecklenburg). This bill, referred to the Senate Committee on Local Government <br />and Regional Affairs, would establish a 10 cent per container tax on sales of household hazardous items <br />(defined in the statute). It would exempt items sold in large quantities too big for household consumers. <br />Exemptions to state sales tax provided in existing law would not apply to this tax. Proceeds oftbe tax <br />(less collection costs not to exceed 0.7%) would be credited quarterly 10% to the Solid Waste Manage- <br />ment Fund to be used for the purposes set out in G.S. 130A-309.12, ,a, nd 90% to counties on a per capita <br />basis for use in providing for safe disposal of household hazardous xx aste under a new Pan 2D of Chapter <br />130A. This new Part could require counties to provide for safe disposal of household hazardous waste. <br />Each county would be responsible for collecting and disposing of household hazardous waste within its <br />boundaries and would be required to provide at least one collection site. Counties could enter into <br />cooperative and contractual arrangements for collection. Each county would have to develop procedures <br />for collection and disposal to be included in its solid waste management plan. Disposal of household haz- <br />ardous waste in landfills or by incineration would be prohibited unless the permit specifically allows, but <br />disposal of empty containers that are triple rinsed and contain no residue would be allowed. Retailers that <br />offer household hazm-dous items for sale would be required Io post notice that state law requires counties <br />to provide collection sites and stating the site location in that county, subject to civil penalties. The bill <br />would preempt local regulation regarding disposal of household hazardous waste inconsistent with the <br />statute, and would prohibit local governments from imposing any fees for disposal of household hazard- <br />ous waste. <br /> <br />"To clarify the General Statutes to include training for incinerator operators of solid waste manage- <br />ment facilJtles." Sen. Fountain Odom (Mecklenburg) and Rep. Foyle Hightower (Anson). These bills <br />would amend G.S. 130A-309.25(a) to add incinerator operators to the list of officlals subject to training <br />program adrrfinistered by the Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources. The Senate bill <br />was referred to the Senate Environment Committee. The House bill was referred to the House Environ- <br />ment CommSttee. <br /> <br />"To increase the Scrap Tire Disposal Tax, to pro~4de for the distribution of the additional tax <br />proceeds, and to revoke the authority ora unit of local goverfiment or a contracting part}, to impose <br />a separate scrap tire disposal fee." Sen. Fountain Odom (Mecklenburg) and Rep. Dan Devane (Hoke). <br />These bills, referred to the Senate Environment Committee and the House Finance Committee, would <br />amend G.S. 105-187.16 to impose (1) a sales tax of 1% on 20-inch or larger tires, 2% on smaller tires; (2) <br />privilege taxes in the same amount on a tire retailer and wholesaler selling t'~res for vehicles to be sold, <br />rented or leased; and (3) excise taxes in the same amount on new tires purchased for storage, use or con- <br />sumption in the state or placement on a vehicle sold, leased or renled. The Secretary of Revenue could <br />retain .7% of the taxes as a coIIection cost, with the remainder distributed quarterly as follows: 5% to the <br />Solid Waste Management Trust Fund; 27% to the Scrap Tire Disposal Fund; and 68% to counties per <br />capita. It would delete the authority in G.S. 130A-309.58(e) for counties to charee a tire disposal fee. <br />The bill would create a Scrap Tire Disposal Fund containing tax revenue, appropriations from the General <br />Assembly, contributions and grants. The Department of Revenue would be authorized to use up to 25% <br />of the Fund to repay counties for the cost of disposal, if the county's reasonable cost in the preceding six <br />months exceeded the amount the county received in the same period under the tax distribution formula. <br />The remainder of the Fund would be used for cleanup of nuisance tire collection sites when no other funds <br />were available for this purpose. <br /> <br />I2)-5 <br /> <br /> <br />
