H.B. 37 Used Oil Management Act Amendments

What this bill does

H.B. 37 raises the used oil recycling fee to 4 cents per quart and 16 cents per gallon, since the fund set up in 1993 has not been adjusted and has been subsidized by other division programs. The fee pays for recycling incentives to collection centers, grants, public education, and local health department inspections, and the bill also gives the committee more legislative oversight flexibility and updates outdated code.

  1. Committee chair45:17

     Alright, let's, let's go. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. Let's go to item five. HB 0 0 3 7. Used Oil Management Act amendments with a substitute number one.

  2. Rep. Scott H. Chew45:31

     Okay. Well, I appreciate it. You. This this bill, um, got handed to me from the, uh, interim Natural Resources intern committee. And, um, it, I imagine the reason that they were asking me to, to bring it forward is, uh, a couple years ago I started, I asked some questions about, uh, I know there's a lot of, uh, agricultural producers that have barrels of oil when they've changed their tractor, uh, oil. They've got barrels of oil. And I a ask if there, there was an opportunity for something like how the Department of Agriculture goes around and, uh, usually once a year, sometimes they do it twice, but mostly it's once a year to pick up, um, pesticide that's expired or, uh, or, uh, if you got a, uh, some in a container you're not gonna use, you can, uh, pick it up. And I wondered if there was an opportunity for our used oil, uh, to be able to do something similar. And we started a, a conversation about that. You know, just like we have, uh, uh, expired prescriptions. Uh, you can about twice a year, I know in Vernal anyway, there'll be, uh, a come and collect, uh, uh, used prescription so they're not out there to different drugs. But, uh, the oil dealer, it was interesting in generating that, uh, conversation with agricultural producers. Some of 'em were pretty anxious to see if there was an opportunity to, uh, recycle their oil. And, and so we kind, I kind of stepped into this arena. I think that's part of the reason I was asked to, uh, carry this forward. We've got a, a need. Um, uh, we, everybody, when you, when you buy, uh, a container of oil down at the down to, uh, auto parts store over at Walmart or wherever, you might buy some if you do your own, uh, or if you just check the oil and put a GA Juab a quart of it in every now and again. Why? Um, it, um, you get a a a charge currently. And that charge is the, uh, been what, what, uh, goes into a recycle a fund that we, that hasn't been adjusted since 1973. And I'm gonna have, uh, Ted here with the Department of Waste Management. And I don't remember all of the technical names of it. I'll let you introduce yourself, Ted, and explain why we need to have this, uh, um, well, we brought this bill forward. Perfect.

  3. Ted Sonnenburg, Director, Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control47:43

     Thank you Representative. Mr. Chair Committee. Um, I'm Ted Sonenberg. I'm the, as of three weeks ago, the new director of the Utah Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control. Thankfully, I was over the used oil program before that, so hopefully I can speak on that. Um, as, um, first off, we're, we're very appreciative of Representative Chew for, uh, sponsoring this bill. This is something that, um, for the last over 35 years, that fund has been set at 4 cents. And since that time, um, expenditures of outpaced revenues in the last two fiscal years, the used oil fund has had to be subsidized through other division programs. So it's definitely something that will ensure that the used oil program and the recycling that's part of that, uh, continues in the state. Um, so just want to express our appreciation for that. Um, so these funds are this, as Representative Chew mentioned, this is a, a 4 cent fee for any new oil that's purchased. Um, the proposal is to take that to 8 cents and allow the, uh, division to set future fees, um, if necessary. These funds are used to not only, um, fund the used oil program with the division and the board, but also for, there is a recycling incentive, uh, that's given to the used oil collection centers like your Auto Zones O'Reilly's of 25 cents per gallon to help offset the cost of, uh, transportation and, and recycling of that used oil. Uh, we also use those funds for public education, uh, for grants. Um, we do have grants, uh, for, uh, used oil collection centers if needed. Um, and also one of, one of the most important is the, uh, the funding for the local health departments. Uh, the local health departments are responsible for enforcing and managing used oil in their districts, and also to inspect the used oil collection centers every six months. So, So I'd like to mention too, you know, um, our, our auto parts stores, a certain number of them are collection spots. And, uh, folks can take if they're do it yourself or you change your oil in your, uh, on, you know, under a jack in your driveway or something like that, you can take it to the down to O'Reilly's or whoever it is that has it. Uh, we've got, uh, our county landfill has a spot that you can take your used oil to and, and, uh, it can, uh, collection point. And then, uh, the, the use, uh, cycle oil, uh, transporter can come around periodically. Usually, I think, uh, in my area they come out. Um, they come out, I think it's every two months and it, unless the county's, uh, it's got a bigger vat up there, if it gets full, they'll, uh, call and have it brought out or come out, uh, more frequent. And, uh, it's interesting when we get into this, uh, arena a little bit. Uh, one thing we've discovered, and we're doing some, uh, and the, uh, department's doing some studies on it, is folks wanna know what, what to do with their used antifreeze. So that's being, uh, being looked at because, uh, you know, prior to this or prior to, uh, 1993, a lot of this used oil was just dumped on the ground. And some of our antifreeze might wind up in that kind of a place. We don't want that to happen. That's awful, costly to clean up something if it's, uh, been put in the wrong place. So we'd like folks to encourage to take advantage of the program. After all, they are paying for it and we need to continue it. I'm not a big fan about increase in any, uh, kind of fees or, uh, people look at that might be a, a tax, but I feel like this is something that, that we're all a part of and we probably need to help pay for, uh, uh, to prevent any kind of a cleanup on it. So anyway, that's what I've got to say.

  4. Committee chair51:29speaker not certain

     And I think, uh, uh, Ted's finished too, probably That conclude your presentation representative. That's Our presentation. Okay.

  5. Committee chair51:36

     Thank you. We'll bring it back to the committee for questions. Comments, uh, Representative Koford.

  6. Rep. Jill Koford51:45

     Thank you Mr. Chair. Just a quick question. Is this, for the recycling fee on oil sold on all oil sold statewide? Like I, I'm sorry, I'm just misunderstanding maybe. So, uh, at the point of sale for all oil, if you're getting your car changed and they're putting oil in and you're paying for oil, are you paying for it there? Where is, where is the fee imposed? That's what, I'm just trying to understand that I'm doing that. I,

  7. Ted Sonnenburg, Director, Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control52:11

     I think I can answer that. I'm not sure the oil is, you know, if you go to a retail store and buy it there, there'll be 4 cents on a quart, 16 cents on a gallon. And, but if you go down there and buy a 55 gallon drum out, you don't have to pay that fee. But, so that's probably where if you take your, your car down to one of the places that changes oil, they probably buy it by the 55 gallons. But I'm, and almost guarantee you're gonna be paying a part of the collection fee, the disposal fee, which will, a portion of that will go to the recycling situation for, uh, the recycle truck to come and pick it up, pump their vat out. 'cause they've got a, such a larger vat than, than, uh, like, or Roddy's run them to take. 'cause folks come in with their gallon jug or whatever, and the recycle their oil that they've changed their own. But anyway, it's, uh, if you go down there, it, you are gonna be, uh, and get your oil changed at a company that does it. I anticipate, yeah, you'll probably see a little hooch in the, in the price of it there, but they're not paying for it on the oil, but they are paying for it when it gets picked up On the recycling portion of it, on the recycling.

  8. Rep. Jill Koford53:14

     That's what I was just trying to clarify. Thank you.

  9. Committee chair53:17

  1. Reading Clerk22:15

     Madam Reading Clerk First substitute House Bill 37 Used Oil Management Act amendments by Representative Chew. This bill was heard of Natural Resources, agriculture and Environment with the vote of 11 0 3.

  2. Speaker (presiding)22:30

     Representative Chew.

  3. Rep. Scott H. Chew22:32

     Thank you Mr. Speaker. You know, this bill came about because we didn't want, uh, anybody like our good representative from Hooper to be, uh, changing the oil on his, uh, tractor and doing what was suggested back in 1958 by popular mechanics. So, uh, which was just basically dump it on the ground, not a very environmental friendly, uh, situation. So in 1993, the legislature created the used oil program. It, uh, has a fee that's on all the oil. We buy the fee funds, the division and board costs for implementation. It provides recycling incentive payments to collection centers of 25 cents per gallon. The revenue promotes public education on used oil recycling. It provides grants to collection centers to assist with, uh, transportation, cost of curbside collection. The fee funds local health departments to conduct collection center inspections and managed used oil regulations. The last two years, the fund has been subsidized by other programs within the division. The program isn't sustainable, therefore, we've had to increase the, the cost of 4 cents a, a quart, and, uh, 16 cents a gallon on, on oil that's purchased. If you, uh, go down and get your car oil's changed at a, at a place, a Rocky Mountain Lube or whatever, uh, Jiffy Lube, why that pa that cost is passed on to you. And it helps pay for the recycling program. So we can keep this oil and reuse it if it needed, or put it where it can be used instead of it being an environment. Um, problem. It was, uh, recommend or I was assigned this bill by the, uh, uh, natural Resources intern Committee and it was, uh, unanimously approved. So, uh, without it, we would have to reduce or remove the recycling incentives from collection centers, re, uh, reject grant requests and return the funds de designated for, uh, health departments. It's, uh, something we need to continue. It's just that, uh, binge it was, uh, created nine in 1993. It's, uh, below par for what we need in order to continue with that Mr. Uh, speaker, I'll, uh, see if I can answer any questions if there are some.

     Thank you. Thank you, Representative. Chew, you've been patient. Come on up.

  2. Rep. Scott H. Chew2:23:04

     We're gonna, Mr. Chairman, I have This. Okay. Can I have My intern? I have your intern. Bring him around outside if they would take care of that.

  3. Committee chair2:23:13

     Yeah. Thank you. We'll call the first bill, house bill 37. First substitute used Oil Management Act amendments representative. You're welcome. We're Ready to go.

  4. Rep. Scott H. Chew2:23:26

     Time is yours. Well, I appreciate that, you know, uh, house Bill 37 used Oil amendments was, uh, one we talked about last, uh, uh, interim during the summer. And, uh, anyway, I'll just get right to the meat of it that the used oil program was started in 1993 and hasn't been adjusted the price wise on it. And, um, uh, you know, what it does is, is it, it helps with, uh, recycling oil and, and putting it, uh, um, in a proper place, keeping it out of environment. What is the handout I gave you, you know, pretty much explains what was, uh, kind of, uh, the idea to do with our oil when we, uh, were do it yourself and changing it at home 50 years ago, 60 years ago, probably on that one. Anyway, the fee, uh, funds a division and board costs for the implementation. It provides recycling incentive, uh, payments to collection centers at 25 cents, uh, per gallon. The revenue promotes public education on used oil recycling. And, uh, we get a lot of good out of the oil that's recycled. It provides grants to collection centers to assist with transportation costs and curbside collection events. Um, the fee funds, local health departments to, uh, conduct collection center inspections and managed the used oil uh, regulations. Uh, the last two years, the fund has been subsidized by other programs within the division. And, uh, it, the program isn't sustainable. We need to do something keep, uh, some of this from winding up in places we don't wanna see it. It'll, it'll raise heck and without it, we would have to reduce or remove the recycling incentives from the collection centers, reject grant proposals and or requests and retain the funds designated for local health departments. Um, you know, it, it's interesting. Like we said, uh, it was set up in 1993 and, uh, had a good fund and, but it's, uh, we've got to the point it cost a, you know, I, uh, kind of got what into this, uh, arena a little bit because I was trying to figure out, there's a lot of, of, uh, ranchers, farmers that have tractors change a lot of big oil, uh, motors and, and some of us have 55 gallon drums of used oil sitting at home. And I thought maybe we could get some project going like, uh, the Department of Ag has with their, uh, unused pesticides. You know, we'd have somebody come around and, and pick 'em up and there's a certain amount of interest with the, in the aggregate in, in industry that's, uh, curious about doing that. But they're also, uh, a little bit skeptical. It's new and always a little leery about having, uh, inviting the government down to their place. So, uh, anyway, some of this we need to, to work on it. It'd be a good deal. Um, I think, uh, I've got, uh, Ted here to, to, uh, who's kind of new with the, the program, but, uh, he might have a little bit to add to that. And then I know we do have an amendment what we're gonna be talking about too. So, Ted, have you got any more that I've forgot to, Um, Mr. Chair?

  5. Committee chair2:26:37

     Yes, sir. Go ahead. Introduce yourself. Thank you.

  6. Ted Sonnenburg, Director, Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control, Utah Department of Environmental Quality2:26:40

     Ted Sonenberg, the Division Director of Waste Management and Radiation Control, appreciate being able to to be here. I'd like to express my appreciation for Representative Chew and Senator Stratton for their support in getting this bill up. This, um, as Representative Chew summed it up very well. Uh, the, the fund is not sustainable. It's, it's expenditures have outpaced the 4 cents that was brought in 33 years ago. So, um, I would just urge support for that. Thank You. So, so, so what we're doing here though is, is the, the old, uh, amount was 4 cents a quart, uh, 16 cents a gallon. And we've, we've had to double that. It's 8 cents a quart and 32 cents a a a gallon. So, uh, that's what, what the bill does.

  7. Rep. Scott H. Chew2:27:26

     Uh, the amendment is, uh, Senator Stratton and of course Senator Stratton was, uh, chairman of the committee last summer and, and informed me that it was my bill. I appreciate him, uh, volunteering to be the Senate sponsor. But, uh, uh, maybe, uh, uh, either him or, or, or, uh, the or Ted could, uh, explain what the amendment does. It's deals with, uh, the, uh, what we have to do to get the tax commission to increase. So if you wanna ex explain what that's about it probably Go

  8. Ted Sonnenburg, Director, Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control, Utah Department of Environmental Quality2:27:58

     Ahead. Yes, Mr. Chair. Thank you. Um, so the tax commission had a concern that there, they needed adequate time in order to put this into place so that we put a provision into, sort of offset that and give them, I think it was 90 days, uh, notice before, um, we raised that fee. Okay. In, in, in the future.

  9. Committee chair2:28:16

     And that's what the amendment does? Yes. Okay. Then let's, uh, Senator Stratton, your, I left your light on, would you, uh, wanna entertain that motion? It's your amendment.

  10. Sen. Keven J. Stratton2:28:26

      You left it on my light on, but I'll be glad to amendment one in, in my name. I move.

  11. Committee chair2:28:32

      Uh, thank you. Thank you. Okay. And that's been explained. Is there any, are there any questions to, uh, or a discussion to the motion to amend? Seeing none, I'll place the motion. All in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Opposed? Any say nay. Okay. That rule that passed unanimously, it, it is amended. Um, let me just share with the public what a handout from Popular Science January, 1963 that shows depositing oil in gravel in the ground. This is, that was popular science. We're way past that. And thankfully we don't do this anymore. I see. Our And it Also says it should be absorbed by the next oil Change. Oh yeah, it should. Science science evolves as a long way. So thank you for working on that representative. Does that con does that conclude your presentation?

  12. Rep. Scott H. Chew2:29:22

      That does, thank you. Okay.

  13. Committee chair2:29:24

      Bring it back to the committee then for any discussion disclaimer on that.

  18. Sen. Keven J. Stratton2:30:01

      I'd like to speak that, yeah. I, I appreciate the work with our, our, uh, division environmental quality, the processes that has gone through and, uh, the willingness, the good sponsor to carry it and, and always add a little flare. This, this is signature Representative Chew to have, have, have a little, you know, and the interesting thing I would say about this is a wise scientist said, you know, a scientific discovery is, uh, really just learning one or two things that God already knows. And, uh, I don't think he would, uh, affirm this. But what this does show actually, is we, we deal with a lot of emotion around current scientific data that that's there. And that gives us a chance, let's, let's vet and pause and, and, and think clearly be intentional. But, uh, with that, uh, appreciate the, the bill.

  19. Committee chair2:30:54

      Thank you. Okay. So, uh, that is the motion as the discussion to the motion to favorably recommend the bill. Let me come to you for summation then. So

      I appreciate the attention of the, of the committee and the, and, and glad that we had one. It makes sense and it's kind of fun to, to, uh, uh, pursue and, and would appreciate your, your support on this. It's something we need to take care of.

  21. Committee chair2:31:22
