Bill > S1350

This bill, the Wastewater Infrastructure Pollution Prevention and Environmental Safety Act or the WIPPES Act, requires the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to issue regulations that mandate certain products, such as premoistened disposable wipes, to have a "Do Not Flush" label and symbol. The regulations would specify the size, placement, and formatting requirements for this labeling, with the goal of preventing these products from being flushed down toilets, which can cause issues for wastewater infrastructure and the environment. The bill also prohibits the representation of these products as "flushable" and coordinates the labeling requirements with existing laws like the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act. The FTC would be responsible for enforcing the regulations and could impose fines for violations.
