Prohibits certain uses of perchloroethylene and trichloroethylene.
S 2273 bans the use of perchloroethylene (PCE) in consumer and commercial products and prohibits all commercial uses of trichloroethylene (TCE) in New Jersey. The bill requires the Department of Environmental Protection to adopt rules within two years that mirror the federal Environmental Protection Agency’s 2024 regulations on these chemicals, including any exemptions or phased timelines. Facilities that continue using PCE must implement measures to protect workers from exposure. The law takes effect immediately upon enactment.
