A 8848 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to extending the exemption of certain chemicals used in mattresses from regulation for an additional year

This bill extends an existing exemption allowing mattress manufacturers to use specific chemicals (modacrylic fibers without antimony trioxide or aramid fibers) in certain mattress components, without subjecting them to environmental regulations. It directly affects mattress producers who currently use these materials as barrier layers or bottom fabric. The key change updates the exemption's expiration date from January 1, 2026, to January 1, 2027, in New York's environmental conservation law. The bill makes no other policy changes and applies only to the specified mattress manufacturing uses.
