pesticides; PFAS; herbicide; prohibition

HB 2642 bans the distribution of pesticides containing PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) or certain fluorinated chemicals, and herbicides containing glyphosate, effective December 31, 2027. This directly affects pesticide manufacturers, distributors, and agricultural users who currently rely on these products. The key provision adds two new prohibitions to Arizona's pesticide regulations, targeting specific chemical classes known for environmental and health concerns. The law provides a clear effective date for these bans without immediate implementation.
