Trauma scene waste management practitioners should be screened prior to their entering the profession. If they qualifyto be hired for that purpose, they need no regulation. This is another case of bloated bureaucracy and a way to extract from them a $75 fee to practice their profession. The government does not need that money nor should it have it.
