SCS/SB 669 - This act also states that steam-sterilized and shredded "sharps", such as used needles and syringes, 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. Current rules require infectious waste to be transported in leakproof containers.
