Requires DOH and DEP to develop best practices, and certain health care providers to develop plan, concerning medical waste management.

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Health (DOH) and Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to create best practices for managing medical waste, focusing on public health and environmental protection. It directly affects hospitals (licensed under state law) and medical offices (non-licensed facilities providing medical services), mandating each to develop a written waste management plan based on those best practices. The plan must include clear guidelines for personal protective equipment use, visible waste sorting methods with signage, and instructions for properly identifying and sorting waste at its source. Additionally, facilities must train relevant employees on implementing these plans. The bill takes effect 180 days after enactment.
