AI Summary
This bill amends the PFAS Reduction Act to require manufacturers of products sold in Illinois that contain intentionally added PFAS to submit information about the products to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) by January 1, 2026. The EPA can waive this requirement or grant extensions if the information is already publicly available or more time is needed for compliance. The bill also allows the Pollution Control Board to require testing of products it believes contain PFAS, and prohibits the sale of certain products containing intentionally added PFAS, such as carpets, cleaning products, and food packaging, beginning January 1, 2025. The bill also allows the EPA to collect fees from manufacturers to cover its costs and coordinate with other state agencies to enforce the provisions.
