The proposed bill, SB1434, mandates that any business requiring patrons to wear masks must provide a biohazard waste disposal receptacle at each exit for the disposal of masks. This new requirement is subject to Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations, ensuring that the receptacles meet specific safety standards.

Additionally, the bill imposes a penalty of $10,000 for each day a business fails to comply with this requirement. The enforcement of these penalties will be the responsibility of the Attorney General, who will pursue violations in the superior court of the county where the infraction occurred. This legislation aims to enhance public health safety by ensuring proper disposal of masks in businesses.
