The sponsor's argument

Why Leroy Comrie says this is needed

This bill would help consumers make informed choices regarding the purchase of electronic products while also being an important step with regards to reducing electronic waste. It is modeled on first of its kind legislation passed in France in 2020. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, "e-waste" is the fastest-growing compo- nent of the municipal waste stream in the United States. The United Nations Global E-Waste Monitor for 2020 reported that close to 54 million tons of e-waste were generated globally in 2019 with less than 17.5% being recycled. The remaining e-waste materials are discarded in landfills or incinerated with harmful environmental and health impacts. The organization U.S.PIRG estimates that better practices with regard to electronics repairability could save the average US household approxi- mately $400 per year.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
