DIGEST
LaFleur (SB 614)
Proposed law allows, prior to the sale of surplus electronic devices, that any political subdivision
of the state may transfer surplus electronic devices to a nonprofit entity that is certified by R-2
Solutions or the e-Stewards Initiative.
Proposed law requires the nonprofit entity to pick-up, from the location specified by the
transferring political subdivision, and erase the hard drives or memory of the electronic device to
certified standards. Further requires the nonprofit entity to ensure environmental protection of
the electronic device by a responsible recycling process that guarantees the electronic device will
not be disposed of in a sanitary landfill or solid waste disposal facility.
Present law provides for the definition of a "sanitary landfill" and "solid waste disposal facility".
Proposed law provides for the definition of an "electronic device".
Effective August 1, 2014.
