Bill Summary · SB 86

Legislative bill overview

SB 86 is a Kentucky bill relating to waste tire management and regulation. The bill was introduced in the Senate on February 4, 2025, and is currently in the Natural Resources & Energy Committee. Without access to the full bill text, the specific provisions regarding waste tire handling, disposal, recycling incentives, or regulatory changes cannot be detailed.

Why is this important

Waste tire management is a significant environmental and public health concern, as improperly disposed tires create breeding grounds for disease vectors, fire hazards, and contamination. Kentucky's approach to tire waste can affect landfill capacity, recycling industry development, and compliance costs for businesses and municipalities managing tire disposal.

Potential points of contention

  • Regulatory burden on businesses – Requirements for tire retailers, manufacturers, or waste handlers could increase compliance costs
  • Recycling vs. disposal trade-offs – Balancing environmental goals with economic feasibility of tire recycling programs
  • Implementation and enforcement – Clarity on which agencies enforce regulations and how violations are penalized
