Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to prohibiting the manufacture, sale, and use of wire grill brushes

AI Summary

This bill proposes to prohibit the manufacture, sale, and use of wire grill brushes in New York State, effective January 1, 2026. The legislation defines a "wire grill brush" as a brush with wire bristles used for cleaning grills and establishes a comprehensive ban on these products across the state. Under the proposed law, no person will be allowed to manufacture, distribute, sell, offer for sale, or use wire grill brushes anywhere in New York after the specified date. The bill specifically vests exclusive jurisdiction over wire grill brushes in the state government and authorizes the state environmental department to create additional rules and regulations necessary to implement the prohibition. While the bill text does not explicitly state the rationale, such bans are often related to safety concerns, such as the potential risk of wire bristles breaking off and being accidentally ingested or causing injury during grill cleaning.
