Minnesota SF4187 mandates reporting of unlawfully transported infectious waste and imposes fines for violations.

Minnesota SF4187 amends state statutes to require solid waste management facilities to report any unlawfully transported infectious waste they receive. The bill also mandates inspections of infectious waste generators and establishes financial penalties for unlawful transport. First violations incur fines of $200,000 to $500,000, second violations $500,000 to $1,000,000, and third violations $1,000,000 to $2,000,000, with additional conditions on the generator's license. The commissioner must remit 50% of fines to the receiving facility.
