Provides for the restriction of substances in menstrual products
This bill restricts the use of specific chemicals in menstrual products sold or distributed within the state. It defines "restricted substances" to include unsafe items like lead, mercury, and various phthalates, and prohibits their inclusion as intentionally added ingredients immediately upon the law's effective date. Additionally, the bill requires the Department of Health to set lower safety thresholds for these chemicals within two years, with a mandate to review and potentially lower those limits every five years. The legislation applies to all menstrual products, including tampons, pads, and cups, and takes effect twelve months after becoming law.
