defense of RoHS

I personally find it shocking that a US state would directly reference a law
in another land and say 'whatever they do there, we'll do here'. But I
suppose when a standard is developed one simply points at the standard,
whether it be industry or legislation ... :oO

Here's the updated version of the assembly bill:

ed_asm.pdf

Ugh - bowing to a king AND a prince...tough times ahead for my fair state...
