The bill, titled "AN ACT CONCERNING THE BURNING OF MEDICAL WASTE," aims to regulate the operation of medical waste incinerators by ensuring compliance with the standards set by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Specifically, it prohibits any person from operating a medical waste incinerator unless it meets these EPA standards. Additionally, the Commissioner of Energy and Environmental Protection is granted the authority to adopt regulations to enforce these provisions.

This legislation introduces a new section that emphasizes the importance of adhering to federal environmental standards for the incineration of medical waste, thereby enhancing public health and environmental protection. The bill does not contain any deletions from existing law, as it is entirely new legislation. The effective date of the bill is from the time of passage.
