   1-10  the conferees to consider and take action on the following specific
   1-11  matter:
   1-12        (1)  Senate Rule 12.03 is suspended to permit the committee
   1-13  to insert a  new Section 3, Subsection 361.472(a) to read as
   1-14  follows:
   1-15        (a)  A wholesale or retail tire dealer who sells or offers to
   1-16  sell new tires not for resale shall collect at the time and place
   1-17  of sale a waste tire recycling fee <of $2> for each new
   1-18  <automobile, van, bus, truck, trailer, semitrailer, truck tractor
   1-19  and semitrailer combination, or recreational vehicle> tire sold as
   1-20  follows:
   1-21              (1)  $2 for each tire with that has a rim diameter
   1-22  <equal to or greater than> 12 inches but less than 17.5 <26>
   1-23  inches; and
    2-1              (2)  $3.50 for each tire that has a rim diameter of
