LaFleur (SB 614) Act No. 724
New 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.
New 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.
Prior law provided for the definition of a "sanitary landfill" and "solid waste disposal
facility".
New law provides for the definition of an "electronic device".
Effective August 1, 2014.
