SB 669 - This act defines infectious waste transporters and requires them to be classified separately for workers' compensation insurance purposes. Rates for insuring infectious waste transporters shall be reasonable.

This act also states that steam-sterilized and shredded sharps shall not be required to be transported in leakproof containers, and allows such sharps to be disposed of in sanitary landfills.

This act also allows infectious waste to be transported in leak-resistant containers.
