Phases out the sale of products that contain intentionally added PFAS

This bill establishes a phased ban on the sale of products containing intentionally added PFAS chemicals, which are a class of fluorinated organic substances. Starting in 2026, manufacturers must notify the state department about products containing these chemicals, and by 2027, specific items like cookware, cosmetics, and fabric treatments cannot be sold unless the department deems their use essential and without alternatives. The prohibition expands to cover all products with intentionally added PFAS by 2032, while allowing for exemptions for items where federal law preempts state authority or where the chemicals are considered unavoidable for health and safety. The law also outlines penalties for selling prohibited products and clarifies that the restrictions do not apply to the resale of used items.
