PFAS Chemicals – Product Phase Outs and Registration Requirements

Summary

The bill would stop manufacturers from selling or distributing in Maryland any product that intentionally contains PFAS chemicals after set phase‑out dates, and would require those products to be registered with the state and tested for compliance. It also creates a PFAS remediation fund, funded by interest earnings and penalties, to provide grants and loans for cleanup projects. The law targets manufacturers, importers and distributors of items such as cleaning supplies, cookware, cosmetics, personal‑care items, intimate products, feminine‑hygiene goods and many children’s products.
