Summary
Would have prohibited, beginning January 1, 2032, a person from distributing, selling, or offering for sale a product that contains intentionally added perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) unless the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) has made a determination that the use of PFAS in the product was a currently unavoidable use, the prohibition is preempted by federal law, or the product was previously used. The bill would have required DTSC to maintain on its website a list of each determination of currently unavoidable use, when each determination expires, and the products and uses that are exempt from the prohibition. The bill would have imposed an administrative penalty for a violation of the prohibition. The bill would have required DTSC, by January 1, 2027, to adopt regulations to carry out the provisions of the bill. Was held on suspense in the Senate Appropriations Committee.
