AMENDMENT TO SENATE BILL 2106

2    AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend Senate Bill 2106 by replacing
3everything after the enacting clause with the following:
 
4    "Section 5. The Electronic Products Recycling and Reuse Act
5is amended by changing Sections 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 50, 55, 60,
665, 80, and 95 as follows:
 
7    (415 ILCS 150/5)
8    Sec. 5. Findings and purpose.
9    (a) The General Assembly finds all of the following:
10        (1) Electronic products are the fastest growing
11    portion of the solid waste stream. In 2007, 3,000,000 2005,
12    2,600,000 tons of electronic products became obsolete yet
13    only 14% 13% of those products were recycled.
14        (2) Many electronic products contain lead, mercury,
15    cadmium, hexavalent chromium, and other materials that
16    pose environmental and health risks that must be managed.

 

 

09700SB2106ham001- 2 -LRB097 07435 JDS 55036 a

1        (3) Obsolete Many obsolete electronic products can be
2    recycled or refurbished for reuse and then returned to the
3    economic mainstream in the form of raw materials or
4    products.
5        (4) Electronic products contain metals, plastics, and
6    leaded glass, and other valuable materials that may be
7    resold for reuse in new products have resale value. The
8    reuse of these materials components conserves natural
9    resources and energy. The reuse of these materials also ,
10    and the reuse also reduces air and water pollution and the
11    air pollution associated with greenhouse gas emissions.
12        (5) The A management of obsolete residential products
13    is necessary to prioritize place the reuse and recycling of
14    these obsolete residential electronic products as the
15    preferred management strategy over incineration and
16    landfill disposal.
17        (6) The 2010 Recycling Economic Information Study
18    Update for Illinois estimates that the total economic
19    impact of recycling and reusing obsolete electronic
20    products resulted in the creation of nearly 8,000 jobs and
21    $622 million in annual receipts. The Illinois Recycling
22    Economic Information Study of 2001 estimates that the total
23    economic impact of establishing statewide recycling and
24    reuse programs for residential electronic products may
25    result in the creation of nearly 4,000 new jobs and $740
26    million in annual receipts.

 

 

09700SB2106ham001- 3 -LRB097 07435 JDS 55036 a

1        (7) The State-appointed Computer Equipment Disposal
2    and Recycling Commission issued a final report in May 2006
3    recommending legislative, regulatory, or other actions to
4    properly address the recycling and reuse of obsolete
5    residential electronic products.
6    (b) The purpose of this Act is to set forth procedures by
7which the recycling and processing for reuse of covered
8electronic devices will be accomplished in Illinois.

14    with applicable permit parameters including monitoring of
15    effluents and emissions. Recyclers and refurbishers must
16    maintain contracts or other documents, such as sales
17    receipts, suitable to demonstrate: (i) the reasonable
18    expectation that there is a downstream market or uses for
19    designated electronics (which may include recycling or
20    reclamation processes such as smelting to recover metals
21    for reuse); and (ii) that any residuals from recycling or
22    reclamation processes, or both, are properly handled and
23    managed to maximize reuse and recycling of materials to the
24    extent practical.

12013, the Illinois Pollution Control Board (Board) is
2authorized to review temporary CED landfill ban waiver
3petitions by county governments or municipal joint action
4agencies (action agencies) and determine whether the
5respective county's or action agency's jurisdiction may be
6granted a temporary CED landfill ban waiver due to a lack of
7funds and a lack of collection opportunities to collect CEDs
8and EEDs within the county's or action agency's jurisdiction.
9If the Board grants a waiver under this subsection (e),
10subsections (a) and (b) of this Section shall not apply to CEDs
11and EEDs that are taken out of service from residences within
12the jurisdiction of the county or action agency receiving the
13waiver and disposed of during the remainder of the program year
14in which the petition is filed.
15        (1) The petition from the county or action agency shall
16    include the following:
17            (A) documentation of the county's or action
18        agency's attempts to gain funding, as well as the total
19        funding obtained, for the collection of CEDs and EEDs
20        in its jurisdiction from manufacturers or other units
21        of government in the State; and
22            (B) an assessment of other collection
23        opportunities in the county's or action agency's
24        jurisdiction demonstrating insufficient capacity for
25        the anticipated volume of CEDs and EEDs for the
26        remainder of the program year in which the petition is

 

 

09700SB2106ham001- 59 -LRB097 07435 JDS 55036 a

1        being filed.
2        (2) In addition to the criteria listed in item (1), the
3    Board shall consider the following additional criteria
4    when reviewing a petition:
5            (A) total weight of CEDs and EEDs collected in the
6        county's or action agency's jurisdiction during all
7        preceding program years;
8            (B) total weight of CEDs and EEDs collected in the
9        county's or action agency's jurisdiction during the
10        year in which the petition is filed; and
11            (C) the projected difference in weight between
12        prior program years and the year in which the petition
13        is filed.
14        (3) Within 60 days after the filing of the petition
15    with the Board, the Board shall determine, based on the
16    criteria in items (1) and (2), whether a temporary CED
17    landfill ban waiver shall be granted to the respective
18    county or action agency for the remainder of the program
19    year in which the petition is filed. The Board's decision
20    to grant such a waiver shall be based upon a showing by
21    clear and convincing evidence that a county or action
22    agency has a lack of funds and its respective jurisdiction
23    lacks sufficient collection opportunities to collect CEDs
24    and EEDs. If the Board denies the petition for a landfill
25    ban waiver, the Board's order shall be final and
26    immediately appealable to the circuit court having

 

 

09700SB2106ham001- 60 -LRB097 07435 JDS 55036 a

1    jurisdiction over the petitioner.
2        (4) Within 5 days after granting a temporary CED
3    landfill ban waiver, the Board shall provide written notice
4    to the Agency of the Board's decision. The notice shall be
5    provided at least 15 days prior to the waiver taking
6    effect.
7        (5) Any county or action agency granted a temporary CED
8    landfill ban waiver shall, within 7 days after receiving
9    the waiver, inform all solid waste haulers and landfill
10    operators used by the county or action agency for solid
11    waste disposal that a waiver has been granted for the
12    remainder of the program year. The notification shall be
13    provided to the solid waste haulers and landfill operators
14    at least 15 days prior to the waiver taking effect.
15        (6) Between April 1, 2012 and December 31, 2013, if a
16    temporary CED landfill ban waiver has been granted to a
17    petitioner, no person disposing of a CED shall be subject
18    to any enforcement proceeding unless he or she disposes of
19    the CED with knowledge that the CED is from a county or
20    action agency that has not received a temporary CED
21    landfill ban waiver.
