TO AMEND THE ARKANSAS COMPUTER AND ELECTRONIC SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT ACT.

SB 185 amends Arkansas' computer and electronic waste management law to change how state agencies handle surplus equipment and recycling contracts. It requires agencies to sell surplus computers and electronics to employees at prices set by the Department of Finance and Administration's Department of Transformation and Shared Services, rather than using existing agency policies. The bill also directs the Computer and Electronic Recycling Fund to work with that department and the Marketing and Redistribution Section to establish statewide contracts with recycling and demanufacturing businesses. These changes directly affect state agencies managing surplus equipment and businesses providing electronic waste recycling services. The bill became law as Act 208 on February 27, 2025.
