Bill > A04500

This bill amends the environmental conservation law to expand the requirements for the public education and outreach program that manufacturers of electronics and electronic waste collection sites must develop. The key provisions include: requiring manufacturers to provide detailed information on their electronic waste acceptance programs, including a description of the public education and outreach program; establishing specific geographic and population-based requirements for the number and distribution of permanent electronic waste collection sites operated by manufacturers; and requiring manufacturers to cover all costs associated with the collection, transportation, and recycling of covered electronic equipment, regardless of whether annual collection targets are met.
