What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

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

PAH sealant products (products with more than 0.1 percent polycyclic aromatic

hydrocarbons by weight). The ban on selling goes into effect approximately six

months after the effective date of the bill; the ban on use goes into effect

approximately 12 months after the effective date of the bill. 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.
