What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill prohibits the sale of coal tar-based sealant products and high PAH

sealant products (products with more than 0.1 percent polycyclic aromatic

hydrocarbons by weight) beginning January 1, 2021, and prohibits the use of such

products beginning July 1, 2021. A person who violates these prohibitions is subject

to the same penalty that applies under current law to other general environmental

provisions, which is a forfeiture of between $10 and $5,000 for each violation.
