Prohibiting certain products that contain intentionally added PFAS and requiring disclosure of information and the testing of products that contain intentionally added PFAS and are sold, offered for sale, distributed or distributed for sale in this state.

Summary

The PFAS Protection Act would stop manufacturers from selling a list of consumer items—such as cookware, food packaging, carpets, cosmetics and firefighting foam—if those items contain intentionally added PFAS, unless a use is deemed “currently unavoidable.” It also obligates manufacturers to disclose PFAS amounts and submit testing results to the state Department of Health and Environment. The goal is to protect human health and the environment by limiting exposure to these persistent chemicals.
