This New York bill requires manufacturers to clearly label baby cosmetic products, such as lotions and creams, if they contain ingredients known to cause cancer. The law mandates that all such products display a list of intentionally added ingredients in order of predominance, while those containing carcinogens must also feature a specific warning stating the product contains chemicals known to cause cancer. These labels must be printed in at least twelve-point font on the packaging to ensure consumers are informed at the point of sale. Manufacturers are held responsible for compliance, and the Attorney General can seek court injunctions or impose civil penalties of up to $500 per violation for failing to meet these labeling requirements.

By amending the environmental conservation law, the bill provides a temporary extension of the current framework without altering its specific requirements. This action allows the state to maintain its shark conservation efforts for an additional two years before the provisions automatically expire.
This bill establishes a fixed cap on the number of commercial food fish and crab licenses available to residents and non-residents, preventing the total number of permits from increasing beyond a specific baseline calculated in 2017. For the years 2026 through 2029, it prioritizes renewing existing licenses for current license holders while limiting new licenses to individuals who meet strict eligibility requirements, such as demonstrating at least $15,000 in annual fishing income or completing a formal apprenticeship. The legislation also restricts new crab and lobster permits to only those who already held a permit in the previous year, effectively freezing the total number of active participants in these fisheries. Additionally, the law includes provisions to prioritize applicants who have completed apprenticeships and ensures that veterans and LGBT veterans are not automatically disqualified based on their military service history.
