What changed between versions

S9268 → S9268A · 3 edits
MINOR
The bill was amended to reflect its status as a revised version (S9268A) after passing the Environmental Conservation Committee. The most significant policy change is the effective date, which was moved from 'immediately' to 'one hundred eightieth day after it shall have become a law', providing a grace period for businesses to adjust before the ban on PFAS-containing anti-fogging products takes full effect.
Scope change
The scope of the ban and the penalties for violations remain unchanged; the amendment only adjusts the timeline for implementation.
