Establishes requirements for medical sharps stewardship programs in Massachusetts.

The bill amends Massachusetts law to establish requirements for medical sharps stewardship programs. It mandates that manufacturers or stewardship organizations submit a plan for drug stewardship programs, including a collection system for unwanted drugs and a mail-back collection system for sharps. The plan must include methods for collecting sharps, such as mail-back programs, collection kiosks, and drop-off events. It also requires the plan to include security provisions, operational and administrative costs, and compliance with state and federal regulations.
