	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Senator DeSaulnier

                        FEBRUARY 27, 2009

   An act to amend Section 42477 of the Public Resources Code,
relating to electronic waste.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 723, as introduced, DeSaulnier. Electronic waste recovery
payments.
   Existing law requires the Integrated Waste Management Board, in
collaboration with the Department of Toxic Substances Control, to
establish on July 1, every two years, an electronic waste recovery
payment schedule to cover the net cost of an authorized collector in
operating a free and convenient system for collecting, consolidating,
and transporting covered electronic wastes. Existing law requires
the board to make those payments, as specified.
   This bill would instead require that the board, in collaboration
with the department, establish an electronic waste recovery payment
schedule to cover the net cost of an authorized collector on July 1
of every year. The bill would also delete an obsolete provision.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
