9 | Sec. 59. Findings and intent.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10 | (a) The General Assembly finds:
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11 | (1) That managing disposed of or discarded electronic | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12 | products is a
rapidly growing waste problem due to the | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13 | proliferation of electronic products
combined with their | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14 | rapid obsolescence.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15 | (2) That electronic products contain toxic substances, | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16 | including, but not
limited to, cathode ray tubes, lead, | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17 | mercury, cadmium, copper, lithium,
brominated flame | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18 | retardants, and phosphorus, all of which, if released, can
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
19 | pose
a threat to public
health and welfare and the | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
20 | environment.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
21 | (3) That the State and local governments do not have | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
22 | the existing
infrastructure nor the funds necessary to | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
23 | properly manage disposed of or
discarded electronic | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
24 | products.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
25 | (b) The intent of this Title is to ensure that disposed of | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
26 | or discarded
electronic
products are managed in a way that | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
27 | protects public health and welfare and the
environment.

| |||||||
1 | be personally served or given by
United States

3 | concerned
at his or her
last known address. Proof of the | ||||||
4 | mailing shall be sufficient as proof of

| ||||||
5 | purposes of this Title. In the case of a notice of hearing, the | ||||||
6 | notice must be
mailed no
less than 7 days before the date fixed | ||||||

nearest to the

14 | County, then the hearing shall be held in
Cook
County. If the | ||||||
15 | taxpayer does not have his or her principal place of business | ||||||
16 | in
this State,
then the hearing shall be held in Sangamon | ||||||

18 | (d) If any proceeding provided by this Title has been | ||||||
19 | instituted by the
Department
of Revenue or by a retailer and | ||||||
20 | the retailer thereafter dies or becomes a
person under
legal | ||||||
21 | disability before the proceeding has been concluded, then the | ||||||
22 | legal
representative of
the deceased or disabled retailer must | ||||||
23 | notify the Department of Revenue of the death or
legal | ||||||
24 | disability. The legal representative, as such, shall then be | ||||||
25 | substituted by the
Department of Revenue in place of and for | ||||||
26 | the retailer. Within 20 days after
notice to the
legal | ||||||
27 | representative of the time fixed for that purpose, the | ||||||
28 | proceeding may
proceed in all
respects and with like effect as | ||||||
29 | though the retailer had not died or become a
person under
legal | ||||||
30 | disability.
