Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Beginning January 1, 2032, 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, 2038. 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.
