My question is: Does the statement in SB20 adopting the RoHS requirements
only apply to the scope of the SB20 rule or is it adopting the RoHS
regulation as a whole in CA - i.e. if you can't sell it in the EU then you
can't sell it in CA?
Beginning January 1, 2007, or when the RoHS Directive becomes effective in
the European Union (whichever comes later), lead, mercury, cadmium, and
hexavalent chromium are banned from electronic equipment sold in California
(SB50, page 5; SB20, page 6).

You missed one of the most important points.
"Covered electronic devices" is defined and consists solely of certain
specified video display devices. It does not effect all electronic devices.

Subject: [LF] California SB20 and SB50
LEADFREE'ers,
I've been studying California's Senate Bill 20 and Senate Bill 50 (SB20
and SB50) to see what effects they will have on design dngineers and
electronics manufacturers. I've come up with the following summary:
California adopted Senate Bill No. 20 (SB20) on September 25, 2003.
Senate Bill No. 50 (SB50), adopted on September 29, 2003, amends SB20 in
a number of areas, but the combination is usually still referred to as
"SB20". SB20 creates a number of bureaucratic hurdles and snares for
anyone who sells, or wants to sell, certain types of electronic
equipment (SB50, pages 9, 11; SB20, page 9) to consumers in California:
* Beginning April 1, 2004, the manufacturer must inform retailers that
their equipment is subject to the waste recycling fee (SB50, page 1).
* Beginning October 1, 2004, the manufacturer must notify the State
Board of Equilization that their product would be considered
hazardous waste when it is discarded.
* Beginning January 1, 2005, electronic equipment must be labeled with
the manufacturer's name or the manufacturer's brand name (SB50 , page
13; SB20, page 12).
* For all sales after January 1, 2005 (new or refurbished), the
manufacturer must be certified as being in compliance with SB20 by
the California Integrated Waste Management Board or the Department of
Toxic Substances Control (SB50, page 2).
* Beginning January 1, 2005, the retailer must collect the waste
recycling fee when they sell the equipment (SB50, pages 2, 11).
* Beginning July 1, 2005, and annually thereafter, manufacturers must
report to the State Board of Equilization how many electronic devices
covered by SB20 they sold in California during the previous year, as
well as the total amount of mercury, cadmium, lead, hexavalent
chromium, PBB's, and recyclable materials they contained (SB50, pages
2, 13).
* Beginning January 1, 2007, or when the RoHS Directive becomes
effective in the European Union (whichever comes later), lead,
mercury, cadmium, and hexavalent chromium are banned from electronic
equipment sold in California (SB50, page 5; SB20, page 6).
Is this summary accurate? Have I missed anything important? I want to
include a good summary of SB20 and SB50 in the "Government" sections of
my web pages
