AI Summary

  • Expands the definition of "covered electronic device" to include facsimile machines, VCRs, portable digital music players, DVD players/recorders, household routers and modems, as well as peripherals such as keyboards, mice, cords, power supplies, speakers, sound bars, and video game consoles

  • Allows manufacturers to coordinate, negotiate contracts, and collaborate with each other on electronic device recycling plans without being subject to federal antitrust law or Hawaii's unfair competition laws (Chapter 480)

  • Excludes from the "manufacturer" definition those who manufacture only electronic device peripherals, those with licenses to manufacture exclusively for a licensor, and those who sold fewer than 100 covered devices in Hawaii the previous year

  • Requires manufacturers to provide free collection service locations in every zip code with 25,000+ residents, one collection location on Molokai, and at least four annual collection events in Hawaii County outside of Kona and Hilo
