SB310

Senate Bill 310 proposes the full repeal of the Electronic Waste Collection, Recycling, and Reuse Act, which is currently codified in Arkansas Code Title 8, Chapter 9, Subchapter 7. This existing law mandates the establishment of programs for the collection, recovery, transport, recycling, and refurbishing of consumer electronic items, such as televisions, computers, and mobile devices. The current act outlines requirements for contract administrators and contractors, emphasizes environmental protection, and mandates participation by state-supported entities. By repealing this subchapter, the bill would effectively remove the state-level statutory framework and regulatory mandates governing electronic waste management programs. The bill provides no replacement for these regulations, effectively ending the state's specific oversight and requirements for this recycling initiative.
