AI Summary
This bill amends the Consumer PFAS Ban Act of 2024 to clarify how the law will be enforced. It grants the Department of Environmental Management (DEM) the authority to join a multijurisdictional clearinghouse, which is a collaborative effort between different government bodies to share information and maintain databases related to products containing PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, a group of man-made chemicals) and any exemptions granted. Additionally, the bill empowers the DEM to grant exemptions for specific products or product categories if they are deemed beneficial to the environment, public health, or safety, and if there are no technically feasible alternatives to using PFAS at a reasonable cost. These changes aim to streamline enforcement and ensure consistent application of the PFAS ban across different jurisdictions, with the act taking effect immediately upon passage.
