Bill > HF3491

This bill proposes to prohibit the advertisement, packaging, or labeling of certain nonwoven disposable products as "flushable, septic safe, or sewer safe" unless the product meets specific standards for flushability. The bill defines key terms, such as "flushable" and "nonwoven disposable product," and requires manufacturers to follow the most recent industry labeling code approved by the Pollution Control Agency. Violations would result in civil penalties, and the Attorney General can bring enforcement actions. The bill includes exceptions for certain media entities and for manufacturers exhaling existing stock. The proposed law would take effect on August 1, 2025.
