Bill > A10662

This bill amends the Environmental Conservation Law to enhance the public education and outreach program required to be developed by manufacturers of electronics and electronic waste collection sites. Key provisions include requiring manufacturers to use geographic modeling to ensure convenient collection sites, establish a minimum number of permanent and community collection sites, and collaborate with collection sites on the public education program. The bill also clarifies that manufacturers must cover all costs of collection, transportation, and recycling of covered electronic equipment, and gives the Department authority to investigate and order manufacturers to pay such costs if they fail to do so.
