Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to prohibiting the sale of certain products that contain regulated perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances
AI Summary
This bill prohibits the sale of certain consumer and household products containing regulated perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, commonly known as PFAS, starting January 1, 2028, with an immediate ban on products containing intentionally added PFAS. PFAS are a group of man-made chemicals that can be found in various products for their water and stain-repellent properties. The bill defines "covered products" to include items like textile articles, rugs, cookware, ski waxes, architectural paints, cleaning products, and dental floss. Manufacturers are required to provide a certificate of compliance to sellers, assuring that their products do not contain regulated PFAS, and face penalties for violations, including civil fines of up to $1,000 per day for initial offenses and $2,500 for subsequent violations. Retailers are protected from penalties if they relied in good faith on a manufacturer's certificate of compliance. The bill also amends existing law to include PFAS in lists of regulated substances and allows for immediate rulemaking to implement these changes before the January 1, 2028 effective date.
