An Act amending Title 35 (Health and Safety) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, providing for medical devices.

This Pennsylvania bill establishes new rules to limit the use of DEHP and other similar chemicals in medical devices like IV bags and tubing. It prohibits the manufacture and sale of these devices containing DEHP starting in 2026, with a complete ban on all IV tubing by 2031, while also forbidding the replacement of DEHP with other chemicals in the same family. Additionally, the law requires healthcare providers to inform patients about the potential risks of these chemicals and their right to request DEHP-free equipment before treatment begins. The legislation is based on findings that these substances can interfere with hormones and may contribute to certain health issues, including cancer and reproductive problems.
