Summary

(1) Existing law, the Electronic Waste Recycling Act of 2003 (act) , requires a retailer selling a covered electronic device in this state to collect a covered electronic waste recycling fee from the consumer, as specified. Under existing law, the fees are deposited in the Electronic Waste Recovery and Recycling Account, and the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery are continuously appropriated the money in the account to make electronic waste recovery payments and recycling payments and to make payments to manufacturers. Existing law defines the term "covered electronic device" as a video display device containing a screen greater than 4 inches, measured diagonally, that is identified in the regulations that the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) is required to adopt to identify electronic devices, as defined, that the DTSC determines are presumed to be, when discarded, a hazardous waste pursuant to the hazardous waste control laws. A violation of the act is a crime. This bill would instead revise the definition of covered electronic device as a video display device with more than 9 square inches of screen size and would make conforming changes to the provisions requiring the adoption of regulations. Since a violation of the act is a crime, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program by revising the requirement for a crime. (2) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
