  equipment engineered for single use; and

  mandating the use of disposable medical equipment engineered for  single
  use.  On  or  before  January first, two thousand nine, the commissioner

  president of the senate, and the chairpersons of the assembly and senate
  health  committees  with  a  report setting forth the conclusions of the
