Bill Summary
Requiring manufacturers of menstrual hygiene products to include a list of ingredients on each package of menstrual hygiene products sold in the State.
AI Summary
This bill requires manufacturers of menstrual hygiene products, which are defined as items used to absorb or contain menstrual blood, tissue, or vaginal discharge like pads, tampons, and menstrual cups, to list all ingredients on the packaging. These ingredients, defined as any intentionally added substance, must be listed in order of how much of each is present and clearly visible on each product sold in the state. This new requirement is being added to the state's laws regarding unfair, abusive, or deceptive trade practices, meaning violations could lead to penalties and enforcement actions under those existing laws, and the change will take effect on October 1, 2026.
