Prohibits the use of unencapsulated foam flotation in docks, buoys and floating structures

Summary

The bill adds a new section to the Environmental Conservation Law that makes it illegal to sell, offer to sell, or distribute docks, buoys or other floating structures that rely on foam material that is not fully sealed in a protective shell. It targets manufacturers, sellers and distributors, aiming to keep foam particles from leaking into waterways. The rule takes effect two years after it becomes law, giving agencies time to write needed regulations.
