Indiana SB0135 authorizes alkaline hydrolysis for animal remains disposal and sets standards for its operation.

Indiana SB0135 amends the Indiana Code to authorize alkaline hydrolysis as a lawful method for disposing of animal remains. The bill requires the Indiana Department of Environmental Management to establish wastewater, effluent, and discharge standards for alkaline hydrolysis chambers.

Facilities performing alkaline hydrolysis must prevent pathogen release, securely handle animal remains, manage effluent, and maintain records.
