HB 5107 Connecticut House · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT ESTABLISHING A MORATORIUM ON PERMITS TO BURN MEDICAL WASTE.

HB 5107 establishes a temporary pause on approving new permits for burning medical waste in the state. This moratorium halts all new permit approvals while the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection and the Department of Public Health assess health and safety risks and develop new standards. It directly affects medical waste incineration facilities seeking new permits and aims to protect nearby residents' health during this review period. The bill does not change existing permits or operations but delays new approvals until updated safety protocols are created.
