The bill proposes a supplemental appropriation of $5,000,000 for the Used Tire Recycling and Accountability Program under the Department of Energy and Environment - Division of Environmental Quality for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025. This funding is to be sourced from the Used Tire Recycling Fund and is intended to support the expenses associated with the program. The bill also includes a provision for the immediate transfer of funds from the General Revenue Allotment Reserve Fund to the Used Tire Recycling Fund to facilitate this appropriation.
Additionally, the bill emphasizes compliance with existing laws regarding the disbursement of these funds and outlines the legislative intent behind the appropriation. An emergency clause is included, stating that the funds are necessary for the continuation of essential governmental services, and thus the act will take effect immediately upon passage and approval. If the Governor does not approve or veto the bill, it will automatically become effective after the designated veto period.
