Refrigerant Safety and Agricultural Continuity

Summary

The bill permits commercial and agricultural food‑processing and cold‑storage operations to purchase, install, and service equipment that uses R‑410A refrigerants through Jan. 1, 2035, despite a federal phase‑down to milder‑flammable alternatives. It also shields those businesses from liability for continuing to use R‑410A and requires the Department of Agriculture to keep records and issue annual safety and readiness reports. The measure aims to protect food safety and industry continuity while newer refrigerants are proven safe.
