AI Summary

This bill, aimed at reducing exposure to BPA, which stands for bisphenol A, a chemical found in some thermal paper, amends Chapter 111 of the General Laws by adding a new section that prohibits any person, defined broadly to include individuals and businesses, from using thermal paper containing BPA for receipts of purchase for any sale. The commissioner of public health is tasked with creating the necessary rules and regulations to put this new law into effect, and this provision will become active one year after the bill is passed.
