BILL NUMBER: S6228 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to the disposal of pharmaceutical drugs and controlled substances PURPOSE : This bill would create an obligation of each county in the state to have a pharmaceutical drug collection program implemented by the sheriffs department of the county for the purpose of providing proper disposal of both pharmaceutical drugs and controlled substances in a regulated solid waste incinerator, in order to decrease the amount of drugs that end up in either the solid waste system or the sewage system. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS : Section 1 amends the environmental conservation law as to the disposal of pharmaceutical drugs and controlled substances, first, by defining the language of pharmaceutical drugs and controlled substances, and secondly by providing that each county's sheriffs department must implement and operate, by April 19, 2010, a permanent program for pharmaceutical drugs and controlled substance acceptance and collection to be disposed of in a department regulated waste incinerator.
