Bill > SF3139

This bill establishes labeling requirements for nonwoven personal care disposable products sold in the state. It defines key terms such as "flushable, septic safe, or sewer safe" and "nonwoven disposable product." The bill prohibits the advertising, packaging, or labeling of such products as flushable, septic safe, or sewer safe unless they meet the definition. It also requires these products to meet the industry's labeling code of practice. Violations can result in civil penalties of up to $5,000 per violation, enforced by the Attorney General. The bill provides exceptions for certain media and retailers, and allows manufacturers to exhaust existing stock that does not meet the new standards.
