SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)
Medical waste penalties. Specifies that it is a felony, punishable by one to five years in prison or up to $ 25,000 or both, to knowingly transport regulated medical waste to an unpermitted facility, to knowingly transport, treat, store or dispose of regulated medical waste without, or in violation of, a permit, or to knowingly make a false statement on any documentation used for purposes of regulated medical waste compliance programs. The knowing transport, treatment, storage, disposal or export of regulated medical waste in violation of the Solid Waste Management Law or Solid Waste Management Board regulations by one who knows that he is placing another person in imminent danger of death or serious bodily injury is specified as a felony punishable by two to fifteen years in prison or a fine of up to $250,000, or both. Under this latter provision, a defendant who is not an individual may be fined the lesser of one million dollars or three times the economic benefit realized as a result of the offense. There is also a technical amendment.
