An Act relative to the transport, storage and sale of used bedding

This bill requires that used bedding be sanitized or sealed before being transported, stored, or sold alongside new bedding. The law mandates that any sanitization process must be approved by the state Department of Health and specifically target pests like bedbugs and dust mites, as well as allergens and other contaminants. Alternatively, the bedding must be enclosed in plastic or similar material designed to prevent contaminants from passing through. These rules directly affect businesses and individuals involved in the resale or movement of second-hand mattresses and pillows in Massachusetts.
