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, 30, 55, 60, and 65 as
6follows:
 
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.

 

 

09700SB2106sam002- 2 -LRB097 07435 JDS 52529 a

1        (3) Many obsolete electronic products can be recycled
2    or refurbished for reuse and then returned to the economic
3    mainstream in the form of raw materials or products.
4        (4) Electronic products contain metals, plastics, and
5    leaded glass that have resale value. The reuse of these
6    components conserves natural resources and energy, and the
7    reuse also reduces air and water pollution and greenhouse
8    gas emissions.
9        (5) The A management of obsolete residential products
10    is necessary to prioritize place the reuse and recycling of
11    obsolete residential electronic products as the preferred
12    management strategy over incineration and landfill
13    disposal.
14        (6) The 2010 Recycling Economic Information Study
15    Update for Illinois estimates that the total economic
16    impact of recycling and reusing obsolete electronic
17    products resulted in the creation of nearly 8,000 jobs and
18    $622 million in annual receipts. The Illinois Recycling
19    Economic Information Study of 2001 estimates that the total
20    economic impact of establishing statewide recycling and
21    reuse programs for residential electronic products may
22    result in the creation of nearly 4,000 new jobs and $740
23    million in annual receipts.
24        (7) The State-appointed Computer Equipment Disposal
25    and Recycling Commission issued a final report in May 2006
26    recommending legislative, regulatory, or other actions to

 

 

09700SB2106sam002- 3 -LRB097 07435 JDS 52529 a

1    properly address the recycling and reuse of obsolete
2    residential electronic products.
3    (b) The purpose of this Act is to set forth procedures by
4which the recycling and processing for reuse of covered
5electronic devices will be accomplished in Illinois.

4In each program year after 2012, if, in the preceding program
5year, a manufacturer sold 251 or more computers, computer
6monitors, printers, and televisions in the State, then the
7registration fee for that manufacturer in that year is the fee
8that applied in the previous year to manufacturers that sold
9that number of items, increased by the applicable inflation
10factor as described below. For program years 2013 2011 and
11later, the applicable registration fee is increased each year
12by an inflation factor determined by the annual Implicit Price
13Deflator for Gross National Product, as published by the U.S.
14Department of Commerce in its Survey of Current Business. The
15inflation factor must be calculated each year by dividing the
16latest published annual Implicit Price Deflator for Gross
17National Product by the annual Implicit Price Deflator for
18Gross National Product for the previous year. The inflation
19factor must be rounded to the nearest 1/100th, and the
20resulting registration fee must be rounded to the nearest whole
21dollar. No later than October 1 of each program year, the
22Agency shall post on its website the registration fee for the
23next program year.
24    (c) A manufacturer whose computers, computer monitors,
25printers, or televisions are first sold or offered for sale in

2accordance with subsection (a) of this Section and submit the
3registration fee required under subsection (b) of this Section
4prior to the manufacturer's computers, computer monitors,
5printers, or televisions being sold or offered for sale.
6    (d) Each manufacturer shall recycle or process for reuse
7CEDs and EEDs whose total weight equals or exceeds the
8manufacturer's individual recycling and reuse goal set forth in
9Section 19 of this Act. Individual consumers may not be charged
10an end-of-life fee when bringing their CEDs and EEDs to
11permanent or temporary collection locations, unless a
12financial incentive of equal or greater value, such as a
13coupon, is provided. Individual consumers shall not be charged
14a fee for the destruction or sanitization of data on hard
15drives and other data storage devices. Collectors may charge a
16fee for premium services such as curbside collection, home
17pick-up, or a similar method of collection.
18    When determining whether a manufacturer has met or exceeded
19its individual recycling and reuse goal set forth in Section 19
20of this Act, all of the following adjustments must be made:
21        (1) The total weight of CEDs processed for reuse by the
22    manufacturer, its recyclers, or its refurbishers for reuse
23    is quadrupled doubled.
24        (2) The total weight of CEDs is quadrupled tripled if
25    they are donated for reuse by the manufacturer to a primary
26    or secondary public education institution the majority of

 

 

09700SB2106sam002- 16 -LRB097 07435 JDS 52529 a

1    whose students are considered low income or
2    developmentally disabled or to a not-for-profit entity
3    that is established under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal
4    Revenue Code of 1986 and whose principal mission is to
5    assist low-income children or families or to assist the
6    developmentally disabled in Illinois. This subsection
7    applies only to CEDs for which the manufacturer has
8    received a written confirmation that the recipient has
9    accepted the donation. Copies of all written confirmations
10    must be submitted in the annual report required under
11    Section 30.
12        (3) The total weight of CEDs collected by manufacturers
13    free of charge in underserved counties is doubled. This
14    subsection applies only to CEDs that are documented by
15    collectors as being collected or received free of charge in
16    underserved counties. This documentation must include,
17    without limitation, the date and location of collection or
18    receipt, the weight of the CEDs collected or received, and
19    an acknowledgement by the collector that the CEDs were
20    collected or received free of charge. Copies of the
21    documentation must be submitted in the annual report
22    required under subsection (h), (i), (j), (k), or (l) of
23    Section 30.
24        (4) The total weight of CEDs will be tripled if they
25    are collected, recycled, or refurbished for a manufacturer
26    by a not-for-profit entity the majority of whose employees

 

 

09700SB2106sam002- 17 -LRB097 07435 JDS 52529 a

1    are developmentally disabled. A manufacturer that uses a
2    not-for-profit recycler or refurbisher the majority of
3    whose employees are developmentally disabled shall submit
4    documentation in the annual report required under Section
5    30 identifying the name, location, and length of service of
6    the entity that qualifies for credit under this subsection.
7    (e) Manufacturers of computers, computer monitors, or
8printers, either individually or collectively, shall hire an
9independent third-party auditor to perform statistically
10significant return share samples of CEDs received by recyclers
11and refurbishers for recycling or processing for reuse. Each
12third-party auditor shall perform a return share sample of CEDs
13for at least one 8-hour period, once a quarter during the
14program year at the facility of each registered recycler and
15refurbisher under contract with the manufacturer or group of
16manufacturers that has hired the auditor. The audit shall
17contain the following data:
18        (1) the number and weight of CEDs, sorted by brand name
19    and product type, including a category for orphan CEDs;
20        (2) the total weight of the sample by product type;
21        (3) the date, location, and time of the sampling;
22        (4) the name or names of the manufacturer for whom the
23    recycler is performing activities under this Act; and

1    insignificant.
2    The manufacturer shall notify the Agency 30 days prior to
3the third-party auditor's return share sampling by providing
4the Agency with the time and date on which the third-party
5auditor will perform the return share sample. The Agency may,
6at its discretion, be present at any sampling event and may
7audit the methodology and the results of the third-party
8auditor.
9    No less than 30 days after the close of each calendar
10quarter, the manufacturer shall submit to the Agency the
11results of the third-party samplings conducted during the
12quarter. The results shall be submitted in the form and manner
13required by the Agency.
14    (f) Manufacturers shall ensure that only recyclers and
15refurbishers that have registered with the Agency are used to
16meet the individual recycling and reuse goals set forth in this
