§125.1. Electronic device; transfer
A. Prior to the sale of surplus electronic devices, any political subdivision of the state is hereby authorized to transfer surplus electronic devices to a nonprofit entity that is certified by R2 Solutions or the e-Stewards Initiative. In exchange for the electronic device, the nonprofit entity shall perform services that are proportionate to at least the value of the electronic device. These services shall, at a minimum, include the pick-up from the location specified by the transferring political subdivision and erasure of the hard drives or memory of the electronic device to certified standards in order to ensure personal privacy protection. The nonprofit shall also ensure environmental protection of the electronic device by a responsible recycling process that guarantees the electronic device shall not be disposed of in a sanitary landfill or solid waste disposal facility, as defined in R.S. 30:2153.
B. When used in this Section, "electronic device" shall mean a device or a component thereof that contains one or more circuit boards and is used primarily for data transfer or storage, communication, or entertainment purposes, including but not limited to desktop and laptop computers, computer peripherals, monitors, copying machines, scanners, printers, radios, televisions, camcorders, video cassette recorders, compact disc players, digital video disc players, MP3 players, telephones, including cellular and portable telephones, and stereos.
