Summary
The bill amends California’s Proposition 65 law so that any settlement of a toxic‑chemical violation must be approved by a court that finds the agreement serves the public interest, includes reasonable attorney fees, and may require reduced exposure or a proper warning. It also gives the Attorney General a way to object to attorney‑fee awards in those settlements. The changes affect businesses, public‑interest plaintiffs, and the agencies that enforce the law.
