It defines "restricted substances" to include items like lead, mercury, formaldehyde, and various phthalates, prohibiting their use as intentionally added ingredients starting on the effective date. The law also establishes a timeline for setting lower safety thresholds for these chemicals, requiring the Department of Health to propose regulations within a year and review them every five years. Manufacturers of tampons, pads, cups, and other menstrual hygiene products must comply with these limits to sell their goods in the state.

Maddy summaryThis bill proposes a financial penalty for the governor if the state legislature fails to pass a budget by April 1st. Under this measure, the governor would not receive their salary for the remainder of the year until the budget is approved. The rule applies specifically to the annual appropriations bills submitted by the governor to fund state operations. This change aims to create a direct incentive for timely budget passage by linking the governor's compensation to legislative action.
Maddy summaryThis bill updates election laws to guide local boards of elections in selecting specific locations for early voting and voter registration. It allows religious buildings to serve as polling places without requiring them to open on Saturdays if this conflicts with their beliefs, while mandating that public school buildings never be used for early voting. Additionally, the legislation requires that public buildings be used for voting whenever possible and outlines procedures for ensuring accessibility for disabled voters, including a process for building owners to request cancellation of a polling place designation if it would unreasonably interfere with their normal operations.
