Texas HB1463 amends tire regulations, requiring manufacturers to report tire information and imposing fines for improper tire disposal.

Texas HB1463 amends the Health and Safety Code to regulate the storage, transportation, and disposal of new and scrap tires. Manufacturers must submit information that uniquely identifies each tire to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality within one month of manufacture. The bill also mandates that transporters of scrap tires electronically sign and submit a manifest to the commission for each shipment. Counties can impose fines on generators using unregistered transporters and may charge a fee for tire disposal.
