(Section scheduled to be repealed on December 31, 2026)

Sec. 1-33. Manufacturer clearinghouse.

(a) A manufacturer e-waste program plan submitted by a manufacturer clearinghouse may take into account and incorporate individual plans or operations of one or more manufacturers that are participating in the manufacturer clearinghouse.

(b) If a manufacturer clearinghouse allocates responsibility to manufacturers for manufacturers' transportation and recycling of residential CEDs during a program year as part of a manufacturer e-waste program plan, then the manufacturer clearinghouse shall identify the allocation methodology in its plan submission to the Agency pursuant to Section 1-25 of this Act for review and approval. Any allocation of responsibility among manufacturers for the collection of covered electronic devices shall be in accordance with the allocation methodology established pursuant to Section 1-84.5 of this Act.

(c) A manufacturer clearinghouse shall have no authority to enforce manufacturer compliance with the requirements of this Act, including compliance with the allocation methodology set forth in a manufacturer e-waste program plan, but shall, upon prior notice to the manufacturer, refer any potential non-compliance to the Agency. A manufacturer clearinghouse may develop and implement policies and procedures that exclude from participation in the manufacturer clearinghouse any manufacturers found by the Illinois Pollution Control Board or a court of competent jurisdiction to have failed to comply with this Act.
