The bill requires the executive director of the department of public health and environment (department) to establish a household medication take-back program (program) to collect and dispose of unused household medications. The program allows individuals to dispose of unused household medications at approved collection sites, and for carriers to transport unused household medications from approved collection sites to disposal locations.
The bill specifies that collection sites, carriers, and disposal locations that act in good faith are not subject to liability for incidents arising from the collection, transport, or disposal of household medications.
The bill creates the household medication take-back cash fund for the implementation of the program.
