This bill aims to amend the Used Tire Recycling and Accountability Act by removing the prohibition on tire retailers from charging additional fees for the service of removing a tire from a rim. Specifically, it repeals the existing legal language that prevents retailers from imposing any fees beyond the rim removal fee for this service. This change allows tire retailers the flexibility to charge other fees as they see fit when providing tire removal services.

Additionally, the bill modifies the section regarding rim removal and commercial generator fees, clarifying that only one fee can be charged for the transaction related to the removal of a tire from a rim when a replacement tire is sold. The previous requirement that a retailer cannot charge an additional fee if one fee has already been paid is also removed. Overall, the bill seeks to provide tire retailers with more leeway in their pricing structures while maintaining a clear framework for the fees associated with tire removal services.
