Maddy summaryThis bill, known as the Crematory Regulation Act, establishes new safety standards for crematories in Pennsylvania that began construction after April 17, 1989. It requires these facilities to use an interlock system that prevents loading remains until the secondary chamber reaches and maintains a temperature of 1600 degrees Fahrenheit. Additionally, the law mandates that operators monitor incinerator temperatures during use and prohibits the state from requiring higher temperatures in general permits. The Department of Environmental Protection is tasked with adopting specific regulations to oversee these monitoring requirements.
