Retreaded Tire Jobs, Supply Chain Security and Sustainability Act of 2025
Plain Language Summary
# Retreaded Tire Jobs, Supply Chain Security and Sustainability Act of 2025 This bill would promote the retreading (refurbishment and reuse) of tires as an alternative to manufacturing new ones. Retreading involves removing worn tread from old tires and adding new rubber to extend their usable life. The legislation appears designed to support this industry by addressing supply chain issues and sustainability concerns, though specific provisions aren't detailed in the available summary. The bill would primarily affect tire manufacturers, retreading companies, and potentially trucking and transportation businesses that use tires. It could also impact consumers by potentially making affordable tire options more available.
The bill's focus on both economic benefits (jobs in the retreading sector) and environmental benefits (reducing waste and manufacturing demands) suggests it aims to balance business interests with sustainability goals. **Current Status:** The bill is currently in committee review, meaning it hasn't yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. It was introduced by Representative Darin LaHood (R-IL) during the 119th Congress. For more specific details about individual provisions, the full bill text would need to be reviewed.
Latest Action
Referred to the Committee on Ways and Means, and in addition to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
