Amends the Environmental Protection Act. Redefines "mercury switch" to include a mercury-containing product or device that makes, breaks, or changes a connection in an electrical circuit. Provides that, beginning in 2015, dental amalgam may not be added, removed, or modified in the course of treating patients at a dental office unless the dental office has an amalgam separator system installed that removes dental amalgam from the dental office's wastewater before it is discharged into a sewer or septic system and unless other related requirements are met. Requires dental schools and vocational dental education programs to instruct students on the use of certain practices to minimize the presence of elemental mercury, unused amalgam, and waste amalgam in discharged wastewater and solid waste. Amends the Mercury Switch Removal Act. Requires vehicle recyclers, vehicle crushers, and scrap metal recyclers to remove all mercury switches from each end-of-life vehicle within a specified time. Amends the Mercury-Added Product Prohibition Act. Prohibits, except under certain circumstances, mercury-containing pressure transducers from being sold, offered for sale, or distributed in the State. Also makes technical changes. Effective immediately.
