Bill > SB1249

This bill would make it unlawful for a manufacturer to import, sell, or offer for sale in California any cosmetic that was developed or manufactured using animal testing conducted or contracted by the manufacturer or its suppliers on or after January 1, 2020. The bill provides some exemptions, such as for animal testing required by federal or state regulatory authorities, testing to comply with foreign regulatory requirements, or testing for non-cosmetic purposes. Violations would be punishable by a fine of $5,000 plus an additional $1,000 per day the violation continues, and could be enforced by a district or city attorney. The bill would not apply to cosmetics or ingredients sold or tested on animals in California prior to January 1, 2020, and would prohibit local jurisdictions from establishing any animal testing requirements that differ from the state-level provisions.
