Anyone know if this section of LD743 (State of Maine) is actually law? Or if
not when it cuts in please.

 



1319-EE.__Restrictions on hazardous materials

 


 


 

By 2006, producers selling electronic equipment in the State 


must phase out the use of lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent 


chromium, brominated flame retardants and polyvinyl chloride 


and may offer for sale only products that contain less harmful 


alternatives.__If a producer provides sufficient demonstration 


to the department that it is technically impossible to find an 


alternative, the department may issue a limited-term 


exemption.__An exemption may be rescinded once it becomes 


possible to eliminate the substance.__If the exemption is 


granted, the department must assign a limited amount of time 


before the exemption expires to ensure that producers are 


investing in research and development to identify an 


appropriate alternative.
