Introduced  by  M. of A. MORELLE, COLTON, KOON -- read once and referred
  to the Committee on Governmental Operations

AN ACT to amend the state finance law, in  relation  to  establishing  a
  used printer cartridge collection program and providing for the repeal
  of such provisions upon expiration thereof

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Legislative findings and intent. The legislature finds that
New York state's remanufacturing industry, which is composed of  a  wide
array  of  businesses,  many  of  which are small businesses, is a vital
sector of the economy, employing thousands  of  people  while  diverting
thousands  of tons of waste from entering our landfills. The legislature
further finds that the state procurement process already encourages  the
purchasing  of products that are recycled and those that can be supplied
from our largest growth sector, small businesses.  Based  on  these  two
precedents  and  the  fact  that remanufactured products are the highest
form of recycling, the legislature finds and  declares  that  the  state
should actively seek to purchase remanufactured toner cartridges.
  S  2. Paragraph b of subdivision 3 of section 165 of the state finance
law is amended by adding a new subparagraph (iii) to read as follows:
  (III) NOTWITHSTANDING THE PROVISIONS  OF  SUBPARAGRAPH  (II)  OF  THIS
PARAGRAPH,  THE  COMMISSIONER  SHALL  COMMENCE  A USED PRINTER CARTRIDGE
COLLECTION DEMONSTRATION PROGRAM, WHEREBY ANY  STATE  EMPLOYEE  USING  A
PRINTER, MACHINE OR OTHER COMMODITY CONTAINING A TONER OR INK JET PRINT-
ER  CARTRIDGE  WILL  FACILITATE  THE  RECAPTURE OF SUCH TONER OR INK JET
PRINTER CARTRIDGE DURING SERVICE AND REPAIR OR DISPOSAL  OF  SUCH  ITEM.
NOTHING IN THIS SUBPARAGRAPH SHALL BE CONSTRUED TO INTERFERE WITH EXIST-
ING REMANUFACTURING OR RECYCLING PROGRAMS OR AGREEMENTS ALREADY IN PLACE
BETWEEN  ANY STATE AGENCIES, ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURERS, CARTRIDGE
REMANUFACTURERS, OR ANY QUALIFIED NON-PROFIT AGENCIES FOR THE BLIND  AND
SEVERELY DISABLED.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
