AN ACT to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to the sale of cosmetic products containing trace amounts of mercury
AI Summary
This bill amends the Environmental Conservation Law to allow the sale of cosmetic and personal care products containing trace amounts of mercury that are identified by the Department of Environmental Conservation, in consultation with the Department of Health, as being unavoidable under good manufacturing practices or necessary for use as a preservative when no effective and safe non-mercurial alternative is available, particularly for products intended for use around the eye area.
