A bill to require notices and warnings if certain products contain certain chemicals; to provide for the powers and duties of certain state governmental officers and entities; and to provide for civil sanctions and remedies.

AI Summary

This bill creates the Hazardous Products Act, which prohibits the sale of certain products containing intentionally added per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in Michigan starting in 2027, unless the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) determines that the use of PFAS is "currently unavoidable" for that product. The bill requires manufacturers of products containing intentionally added PFAS to provide EGLE and retailers with notices about the PFAS content. It also bans the use of PFAS-containing firefighting foams, except for certain class B foams subject to federal regulation.
