Relates to the recall of class B firefighting foam that contains intentionally added PFAS; repealer
This bill mandates the immediate recall and safe destruction of Class B firefighting foams that contain intentionally added PFAS chemicals, requiring manufacturers to reimburse retailers for these products. It establishes a process where the Office of Fire Prevention and Control can grant temporary exemptions for using these foams only when no effective non-PFAS alternative is available, with a requirement to re-evaluate this status every two years. Additionally, the legislation directs state agencies and local governments to avoid purchasing PFAS-containing firefighting foams and repeals previous sections of the law that may have conflicted with these new restrictions. While the act takes effect immediately, specific provisions regarding exemptions and guidance implementation will not become active until January 1, 2028.
