What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Beginning January 1, 2028, this bill prohibits the sale or distribution of certain

products that contain intentionally added perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl

substances (PFAS), including food packaging, cleaning products, cosmetics, and

textile furnishings. The bill prohibits the sale or distribution of all products

containing intentionally added PFAS beginning January 1, 2034. The bill provides

certain exemptions to this ban, including by allowing the Department of Natural

Resources to identify, by rule, products in which the use of PFAS is an unavoidable

use.

The bill allows DNR to require manufacturers to test certain products for PFAS.

A person that violates the prohibition on sales and distribution is subject to a civil

forfeiture of $100 for each violating product, for each day that the violation continues.
