Bill > HB1080

This bill prohibits the sale of condoms and personal lubricants that contain intentionally added per and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which are a group of human-made chemicals known for their persistence in the environment and potential health risks. The bill amends an existing New Hampshire state law (RSA 149-M:64) by adding a new subparagraph that specifically includes condoms and personal lubricants (both vaginal and anal) in the restrictions on PFAS-containing products. The legislation will take effect 60 days after its passage, giving manufacturers and retailers time to adjust their product offerings. While the bill's fiscal note indicates no direct state revenue impact, it acknowledges potential indeterminable expenditures for enforcement and may have implications for judicial and correctional systems due to potential penalties for non-compliance. The goal of the bill appears to be protecting consumer health by preventing the sale of personal intimate products that contain potentially harmful chemical substances.
