AN ACT RELATING TO HEALTH AND SAFETY -- CONSUMER PFAS BAN ACT OF 2024

HB 6059 creates an exemption for consumer products containing PFAS that have been authorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as safe for food contact, such as certain cookware. It applies directly to manufacturers and sellers of these FDA-approved products, allowing them to continue selling items with PFAS without violating the Consumer PFAS Ban Act of 2024. The exemption takes effect immediately upon the bill's passage and does not alter the main ban on PFAS in other products, which prohibits manufacturing, selling, or distributing PFAS-containing items starting in 2027 (or 2029 for specific products like artificial turf). This provision ensures FDA-approved food-contact products remain exempt from the ban.
