Bill Summary
Providing for crematory regulation.
AI Summary
This bill establishes the Crematory Regulation Act, which sets standards for crematories in Pennsylvania. Key provisions include requiring crematories to have an interlock system that prevents charging the primary chamber until the secondary chamber reaches 1600 degrees Fahrenheit, allowing operators to briefly open the charge door during cremation, and prohibiting the Department of Environmental Protection from requiring a temperature higher than 1600 degrees Fahrenheit. The bill also requires monitoring of crematory incinerator temperatures and applies only to crematories constructed after April 17, 1989.
