What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill prohibits or restricts “cosmetic animal testing,” defined as the internal or external application of a cosmetic or cosmetic ingredient to the skin, eyes, or other body part of a live, nonhuman vertebrate. A “cosmetic” is defined to include an article applied to the human body for cleansing, beautifying, promoting attractiveness, or altering its appearance, including personal hygiene products. A “cosmetic ingredient” is a chemical entity or mixture used as a component in the manufacture of a cosmetic. A “cosmetic manufacturer” is a manufacturer, packer, or distributor identified on a cosmetic label as required by federal law.
The bill generally prohibits a cosmetic manufacturer from doing any of the following:

1. Conducting or contracting for cosmetic animal testing that occurs in this state.
2. Manufacturing or importing into this state a cosmetic or cosmetic ingredient if the cosmetic manufacturer knows or reasonably should know that the cosmetic or cosmetic ingredient was developed or manufactured using cosmetic animal testing.
3. Selling or offering for sale in this state a cosmetic if the cosmetic manufacturer knows or reasonably should know that the cosmetic or a cosmetic ingredient in the cosmetic was developed or manufactured using cosmetic animal testing.
The bill provides a phase-in period for these prohibitions. These prohibitions also do not apply in circumstances when 1) cosmetic animal testing is conducted for the purpose of compliance with federal, state, or foreign regulatory requirements if specified conditions are satisfied, or 2) the cosmetic is subject to certain provisions of the federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. A person who violates the bill’s provisions is subject to a forfeiture of $5,000 for the violation and an additional $1,000 for each day the violation continues.
