INTRODUCED BY   Senator Leno

                        FEBRUARY 18, 2011

    An act relating to hazardous waste.   An act
to add Chapter 5.5 (commencing with Section 108670) to Part 3 of
Division 104 of the Health and Safety Code, relating to product
safety. 



	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 932, as amended, Leno.  Hazardous waste: recycling of
residential fluorescent lighting.   Cellular telephones:
notice requirement.  
   Existing law regulates the labeling requirements for various
consumer products.  
   This bill would require a specified notice relating to
radiofrequency energy emitted by a cellular telephone to be
prominently displayed by the retailer of the cellular telephone
immediately adjacent to the displayed purchase price at the physical
retail location and on the retailer's Internet Web sites, and on the
cellular telephone's exterior packaging or on a label attached to
that exterior packaging.  
   Existing law, the California Lighting Efficiency and Toxics
Reduction Act, administered by the Department of Toxic Substances
Control, prohibits a person from manufacturing for sale or selling in
the state specified general purpose lights that contain levels of
hazardous substances prohibited by the European Union pursuant to the
RoHS Directive. A violation of the hazardous waste control law is a
crime.  
   This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact
legislation that would promote the recycling of residential
fluorescent lighting. 
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
