["Legislative Findings and Purpose","42461.  The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:\n(a) The purpose of this chapter is to enact a comprehensive and innovative system for the reuse, recycling, and proper and legal disposal of covered electronic devices, and to provide incentives to design electronic devices that are less toxic, more recyclable, and that use recycled materials.\n(b) It is the further purpose of this chapter to enact a law that establishes a program that is cost free and convenient for consumers and the public to return, recycle, and ensure the safe and environmentally sound disposal of covered electronic devices.\n(c) It is the intent of the Legislature that the cost associated with the handling, recycling, and disposal of covered electronic devices is the responsibility of the producers and consumers of covered electronic devices, and not local government or their service providers, state government, or taxpayers.\n(d) In order to reduce the likelihood of illegal disposal of these hazardous materials, it is the intent of this chapter to ensure that any cost associated with the proper management of covered electronic devices be internalized by the producers and consumers of covered electronic devices at or before the point of purchase, and not at the point of discard.\n(e) Manufacturers of covered electronic devices, in working to achieve the goals and objectives of this chapter, should have the flexibility to partner with each other and with those public sector entities and business enterprises that currently provide collection and processing services to develop and promote a safe and effective covered electronic device recycling system for California.\n(f) The producers of electronic products, components, and devices should reduce and, to the extent feasible, ultimately phase out the use of hazardous materials in those products.\n(g) Electronic products, components, and devices, to the greatest extent feasible, should be designed for extended life, repair, and reuse.\n(h) The purpose of the Electronic Waste Recycling Act of 2003 is to provide sufficient funding for the safe, cost-free, and convenient collection and recycling of 100 percent of the covered electronic waste initially discarded in the state, to eliminate electronic waste stockpiles and legacy devices by December 31, 2007, to end the illegal disposal of covered electronic devices, to establish manufacturer responsibility for reporting to the board on the manufacturer’s efforts to phase out hazardous materials in electronic devices and increase the use of recycled materials, and to ensure that electronic devices sold in the state do not violate the regulations adopted by the Department of Toxic Substances Control pursuant to Section 25214.10 of the Health and Safety Code.\n(Amended by Stats. 2012, Ch. 523, Sec. 1. Effective January 1, 2013. Conditionally inoperative as provided in Sections 42485 and 42486.)\n42461.5.  (a) The Legislature finds and declares that the changes made by this act of the 2011–12 Regular Session of the Legislature to subdivision (h) of Section 42461, subdivision (f) of Section 42476, and subdivision (a) of Section 42479, clarify and strengthen the enforcement provisions of the act, so as to implement the Legislature’s intent when this chapter was first enacted on January 1, 2003.\n(b) The changes specified in subdivision (a) shall not be interpreted as affecting an administrative or legal enforcement action that was filed before, or is pending on, January 1, 2013, and shall not prevent the taking of a legal or administrative enforcement action that may be brought on or after January 1, 2013, with regard to any actions taken, or claims filed, before that date.\n42473.  The Legislature declares that the imposition of a covered electronic waste recycling fee would not result in the imposition of a tax within the meaning of Article XIII A of the California Constitution, because the amount and nature of the fee has a fair and reasonable relationship to the adverse environmental burdens imposed by the disposal of covered electronic devices and there is a sufficient nexus between the fee imposed and the use of those fees to support the recycling and reuse of these devices.",null,null,null,"Sec. 5. Findings and purpose. \n    (a) The General Assembly finds all of the following:\n        (1) Electronic products are the fastest growing\nportion of the solid waste stream. In 2007, 3,000,000 tons of electronic products became obsolete yet only 14% of those products were recycled.\n        (2) Many electronic products contain lead, mercury,\ncadmium, hexavalent chromium, and other materials that pose environmental and health risks that must be managed.\n        (3) Obsolete electronic products can be recycled or\nrefurbished for reuse and then returned to the economic mainstream in the form of raw materials or products.\n        (4) Electronic products contain metals, plastics,\nglass, and other valuable materials that may be resold for reuse in new products. The reuse of these materials conserves natural resources and energy. The reuse of these materials also reduces water pollution and the air pollution associated with greenhouse gas emissions.\n        (5) The management of obsolete residential products\nis necessary to prioritize the reuse and recycling of these products as the preferred management strategy over incineration and landfill disposal.\n        (6) The 2010 Recycling Economic Information Study\nUpdate for Illinois estimates that the total economic impact of recycling and reusing obsolete electronic products resulted in the creation of nearly 8,000 jobs and $622 million in annual receipts.\n        (7) The State-appointed Computer Equipment Disposal\nand Recycling Commission issued a final report in May 2006 recommending legislative, regulatory, or other actions to properly address the recycling and reuse of obsolete residential electronic products.\n    (b) The purpose of this Act is to set forth procedures by which the recycling and processing for reuse of covered electronic devices will be accomplished in Illinois.",null,"1. Findings; purpose.  The Legislature finds that the establishment of a system to provide for the collection and recycling of electronic devices in this State is consistent with its duty to protect the health, safety and welfare of its citizens, enhance and maintain the quality of the environment, conserve natural resources and prevent air, water and land pollution. The Legislature further finds that such a system is consistent with the overall state solid waste management policy including its intent to pursue and implement an integrated approach to solid waste management and to aggressively promote waste reduction, reuse and recycling as the preferred methods of waste management.\nThe Legislature finds that the purpose of this section is to establish a comprehensive electronics recycling system that ensures the safe and environmentally sound handling, recycling and disposal of electronic products and components and encourages the design of electronic products and components that are less toxic and more recyclable.\nThe Legislature further finds that it is the purpose of this section to establish an electronics recycling system that is convenient and minimizes cost to the consumer of electronic products and components. It is the intent of the Legislature that manufacturers of electronic products and components will be responsible for ensuring proper handling, recycling and disposal of discarded products and that costs associated with consolidation, handling and recycling be internalized by the manufacturers of electronic products and components before the point of purchase.\nThe Legislature further finds that the manufacturers of electronic products and components should reduce and, to the extent feasible, ultimately phase out the use of hazardous materials in these products.\nThe Legislature further finds that a system of shared responsibility for the collection and recycling of covered electronic devices among manufacturers, consolidators, municipalities and other parties is the most effective and equitable means of achieving the purposes of this section. Manufacturers of electronic devices and components, in working to achieve the goals and objectives of this section, should have the flexibility to act in partnership with each other, with state, municipal and regional governments and with businesses that provide collection and handling services to develop, implement and promote a safe and effective electronics recycling system for the State.",null,null,"115A.02 LEGISLATIVE DECLARATION OF POLICY; PURPOSES.\n(a) It is the goal of this chapter to protect the state's land, air, water, and other natural resources and the public health by improving waste management in the state to serve the following purposes:\n(1) reduction in the amount and toxicity of waste generated;\n(2) separation and recovery of materials and energy from waste;\n(3) reduction in indiscriminate dependence on disposal of waste;\n(4) coordination of solid waste management among political subdivisions; and\n(5) orderly and deliberate development and financial security of waste facilities including disposal facilities.\n(b) The waste management goal of the state is to foster an integrated waste management system in a manner appropriate to the characteristics of the waste stream and thereby protect the state's land, air, water, and other natural resources and the public health.
