Feb 23 - Bill would Require Phase out of Toxics in Electronics
"We know that the manufacturers of these products are able to produce them without including harmful toxic materials," Saldana said in a written statement. " The measure builds on California's existing Electronics Waste Recycling Law (SB 20, Sher), which requires manufacturers of computer monitors and televisions to phase out the use of specified toxic materials. The policies are modeled after the European Union ROHS directive, which requires a phase out in the use of toxic materials in virtually all electronics.
