Utah's Used Oil Management Act requires lubricating oil vendors — businesses that sell motor oil and similar products — to collect a small recycling fee at the point of sale, which funds programs to collect and properly dispose of used oil from do-it-yourself oil changers. This bill doubles that fee from 4 cents per quart to 8 cents per quart starting July 1, 2026, and then gives the Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control the ongoing authority to adjust the fee by rule starting July 1, 2027, with at least 90 days' notice to the State Tax Commission before any change takes effect. The bill also clarifies that grant funds can be used to hire licensed transporters as part of curbside used oil pickup programs. Utahns who change their own vehicle oil will see a modest price increase on motor oil purchases, while the additional revenue is directed toward expanding used oil collection infrastructure, including in rural areas where collection options are limited.
