The Legislature finds that: 
 

(a) Each year, according to the Environmental Protection Agency, more than three billion medical sharps are used by individuals in their homes. 

(b) Typically, these medical sharps are put into the household trash, where they become a health hazard for other members of the household and for sanitation workers. 

(c) The hazard includes not only the discomfort of a needle-stick injury, but also the risk of contracting an infectious disease from a contaminated medical sharp. 

(d) Regulating the disposal of home-generated medical sharps will further the public health and safety of Mississippi residents.
