The bill amends the Arkansas Computer and Electronic Solid Waste Management Act by updating references to the relevant state department involved in the sale and recycling of surplus computer and electronic equipment. Specifically, it replaces mentions of the "Department of Finance and Administration" with the "Department of Transformation and Shared Services." This change applies to the sale of surplus equipment to agency employees and the establishment of statewide contracts for recycling and demanufacturing businesses.
These amendments aim to streamline the process and clarify the responsibilities of the newly designated department in managing surplus electronic equipment and recycling efforts. By consolidating these functions under the Department of Transformation and Shared Services, the bill seeks to enhance efficiency in the state's handling of electronic waste.
