Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the general business law, in relation to enacting the "no toxics tent act"
AI Summary
This bill, known as the "No Toxics Tent Act," amends existing law to redefine what constitutes a "portable temporary shelter" for the purpose of prohibiting the manufacture or sale of products containing highly flammable materials. Previously, this definition broadly included various types of tents, trailers, awnings, and screen houses. Now, the definition is narrowed to include any fabric shelter designed or manufactured for use by fifteen or more people, with an exception for tents intended for children's play, camping, backpacking, or mountaineering, provided these specific tents are made entirely from synthetic fibers.
