The rules shall address but are not limited to the areas of operator safety, recordkeeping and tracking procedures, best available appropriate technologies, emergency response and remedial action procedures, waste minimization procedures, and long- term liability. The department shall submit proposed rules to the commission and notify the general assembly of the submission of the proposed rules pursuant to section 7A.11 and the commission shall adopt rules by January 15, 1994. The department shall not grant permits for the construction or operation of a commercial infectious waste treatment or disposal facility until the commission has adopted the required rules, and in no event earlier than July 1, 1994.
