A.  Prior to the sale of surplus electronic devices, any political subdivision of the state is hereby authorized to transfer surplus electronic devices to a nonprofit entity that is certified by R2 Solutions or the e-Stewards Initiative.  In exchange for the electronic device, the nonprofit entity shall perform services that are proportionate to at least the value of the electronic device.  These services shall, at a minimum, include the pick-up from the location specified by the transferring political subdivision and erasure of the hard drives or memory of the electronic device to certified standards in order to ensure personal privacy protection.  The nonprofit shall also ensure environmental protection of the electronic device by a responsible recycling process that guarantees the electronic device shall not be disposed of in a sanitary landfill or solid waste disposal facility, as defined in R.S. 30:2153.
