Increases tire sales fee to fund vector control grants and tick research.

This bill amends the Environmental Protection Act to increase the fee for new or used tire sales at retail from 50 cents to 60 cents per tire, effective July 1, 2027. The additional revenue will be allocated to the Emergency Public Health Fund, with 10 cents per tire going to the Illinois Lyme Association's Tick Research, Education, and Evaluation project. The fund will also be used to make vector control grants to local health departments based on population and need. The bill also includes provisions for tire recycling and the collection of fees by tire suppliers.
