AN ACT relative to reclamation trust funds.

Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:

168:1 Reclamation Trust Funds. Amend RSA 149-M:18 to read as follows:

149-M:18 Town Reclamation Trust Funds. A town which collects an additional fee under RSA 261:153, V shall create a town reclamation trust fund to receive the town share of such fee, to be used to pay the fees for the collection and disposal of the town’s motor vehicle waste and to pay for the recycling and reclamation of other types of solid waste. For the purposes of this section, “motor vehicle waste” means used residential motor oil, residential motor vehicle batteries, and tires from residential motorized vehicles. “Residential”, for the purposes of this paragraph, means any motor vehicle registered in a municipality which collects the fee assessed under RSA 261:153, V. [Towns may use any moneys in the fund in excess of such fees for the recycling and reclamation of other types of solid waste.]

168:2 Reclamation Trust Funds. Amend the introductory paragraph of RSA 261:153, V to read as follows:

V. Beginning July 1, 1989, in addition to each registration fee collected under paragraph I, there may be collected an additional fee for the purposes of a town reclamation trust fund as established in RSA 149-M:18. Of this amount, $.50 shall be retained by the city official designated by the city government or by the town clerk for administrative costs and the remaining amount shall be deposited into the reclamation trust fund established by the town for the purpose of paying collection and disposal fees for the town’s motor vehicle waste and paying for the recycling and reclamation of other types of solid waste. For the purposes of this paragraph, “motor vehicle waste” means “motor vehicle waste” as defined in RSA 149-M:18. A town which collects such additional fees shall not charge a disposal fee for motor vehicle waste at the town’s solid waste disposal facility. If a town finds the additional fee is not sufficient to cover fees for collection and disposal of town motor vehicle waste, it shall notify the office of energy and planning. The office shall study the fee in accordance with RSA 4-C:1 and make recommendations, if necessary, for increases in the fee. The additional fee schedule shall be graduated by class of vehicle as follows:

168:3 Fees for Registration Permits; Reclamation Trust Fund; Special Use Vehicles. Amend RSA 261:153, V(c) to read as follows:

(c) Unless otherwise provided, the fee for special use vehicles including all-terrain vehicles, agricultural and farm vehicles, and [historic] antique vehicles and for 2-wheeled vehicles including mopeds, motorcycles, and [non-motorized car and boat] automobile utility trailers, shall be $2.

168:4 Effective Date. This act shall take effect July 1, 2013.

Approved: July 2, 2013

Effective Date: July 1, 2013
