A 2532 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires DOH to provide for voluntary registration of trauma scene waste management service providers and establish trauma scene waste management registry.

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Health to create a voluntary registry for trauma scene waste management service providers (companies cleaning sites contaminated by medical waste or infectious materials after incidents like homicides, suicides, or bioterrorism). To register, providers must hold ABRA certification, pay $100 initial and annual fees, register with the Environmental Protection Department as medical waste generators, and certify staff familiarity with the ANSI/IICRC S540 cleanup standard. The registry will be publicly accessible online, searchable by county, and must be updated regularly. Law enforcement, fire departments, and emergency medical services will be prohibited from referring people to unregistered providers after the registry launches.
