Vermont H0204 establishes a waste tire stewardship program for motor vehicle tires.

Vermont H0204 mandates that manufacturers of motor vehicle tires submit a waste tire stewardship plan to the Secretary of Natural Resources. The plan must include a method for collecting and managing waste tires, a collection rate performance goal, and an education and outreach program. Manufacturers must register annually and cannot sell tires without an approved plan. The bill also outlines penalties for failing to meet collection goals, reimbursement processes, and the role of the Secretary in reviewing and approving plans. It takes effect upon passage.
