| AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend Senate Bill 2313 by replacing | 3 |
| everything after the enacting clause with the following:
| 4 |
| "Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the | 5 |
| Electronic Products Recycling and Reuse Act.
| 6 |
| Section 5. Findings and purpose. | 7 |
| (a) The General Assembly finds all of the following: | 8 |
| (1) Electronic products are the fastest growing | 9 |
| portion of the solid waste stream. In 2005, 2,600,000 tons | 10 |
| of electronic products became obsolete yet only 13% of | 11 |
| those products were recycled. | 12 |
| (2) Many electronic products contain lead, mercury, | 13 |
| cadmium, hexavalent chromium, and other materials that | 14 |
| pose environmental and health risks that must be managed. | 15 |
| (3) Many obsolete electronic products can be recycled | 16 |
| or refurbished for reuse and then returned to the economic |

| 1 |
| mainstream in the form of raw materials or products. | 2 |
| (4) Electronic products contain metals, plastics, and | 3 |
| leaded glass that have resale value. The reuse of these | 4 |
| components conserves natural resources and energy, and the | 5 |
| reuse also reduces air and water pollution and greenhouse | 6 |
| gas emissions. | 7 |
| (5) A management is necessary to place the reuse and | 8 |
| recycling of obsolete residential electronic products as | 9 |
| the preferred management strategy over incineration and | 10 |
| landfill disposal. | 11 |
| (6) The Illinois Recycling Economic Information Study | 12 |
| of 2001 estimates that the total economic impact of | 13 |
| establishing statewide recycling and reuse programs for | 14 |
| residential electronic products may result in the creation | 15 |
| of nearly 4,000 new jobs and $740 million in annual | 16 |
| receipts. | 17 |
| (7) The State-appointed Computer Equipment Disposal | 18 |
| and Recycling Commission issued a final report in May 2006 | 19 |
| recommending legislative, regulatory, or other actions to | 20 |
| properly address the recycling and reuse of obsolete | 21 |
| residential electronic products. | 22 |
| (b) The purpose of this Act is to set forth procedures by | 23 |
| which the recycling and processing for reuse of covered | 24 |
| electronic devices will be accomplished in Illinois. | 25 |
| Section 10. Definitions. As used in this Act: |
