SUMMARY AS ENACTED WITH GOVERNOR'S RECOMMENDATION: (all summaries)

Waste kitchen grease; transportation; fees; penalty.  Requires any person who transports waste kitchen grease to register with the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services unless he qualifies for an individual exemption. Registrants must pay annual fees of $100 for registration and $100 per vehicle used to transport waste kitchen grease. Commercial transporters of waste kitchen grease must show proof of personal injury and property damage liability insurance in an amount not less than $1 million. All registered transporters must conspicuously mark vehicles used for transportation and maintain records showing the source and quantity of kitchen grease obtained and the renderer who processes such grease into usable products. The Department may assess a civil penalty of not more than $5,000 for any violation of a provision of this chapter, including the prohibition that no person shall take possession of more than 55 gallons of waste kitchen grease from an unregistered transporter unless the recipient maintains, for two years, documentation of the (i) name and address of the person delivering the waste kitchen grease, (ii) date of receipt of the waste kitchen grease, (iii) delivering vehicle’s license plate number and state of registration, and (iv) quantity delivered, which shall be made available for inspection by the Department. The bill also imposes a Class 3 misdemeanor on any person who fails to register as a transporter of waste kitchen grease if required to do by the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.
