House Bill 2714
HB 2714 Summary

The following is an outline for a comprehensive financing system for the management of end-of-life electronics using an Advanced Recycling Fee (ARF). The model is based on the national solution developed by the National Electronic Product Stewardship Initiative (NEPSI). Key Features of the ARF Proposal:

• Provides funds for the entire system including local collection, utilizing existing businesses and organizations, and offering diverse and convenient service.
• Covers personal and portable computers, monitors, desktop printers and multi-function devices, and TVs from both consumers and businesses.
• Fund management and recycling services will be performed and coordinated by a private, non-profit, third party organization (TPO), with a central role played by manufacturers and participation of government representatives and other stakeholders.
• Recycling logistics and processing will be procured through competitive contracting, based on audited environmental standards, to assure the lowest cost while providing a high level of service.
• Flexible enough to allow product reuse by local enterprises, e.g. charities, non-profits and businesses.
• Ensures that everyone selling in the market today shares the cost of recycling the end-of-life products generated today.
• Neutralizes the system impact of changes in market players.
• Includes funding for education programs for consumers, recyclers and other system participants
