This bill makes the following changes to the laws governing products containing perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances.
1. It changes the definitions of "intentionally added PFAS" and "perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances."
2. It changes the date for the requirement that a manufacturer of a product for sale in the State that contains intentionally added PFAS submit a written notification to the Department of Environmental Protection from January 1, 2023 to January 1, 2024. With respect to this notification, it requires a manufacturer to designate confidential business information claims in accordance with the laws of the State and the Uniform Trade Secrets Act.
3. It removes the provision of law that provides that, effective January 1, 2030, a person may not sell, offer for sale or distribute for sale in this State any product that contains intentionally added PFAS, unless the department has determined by rule that the use of PFAS in the product is a currently unavoidable use. Current law provides that the department may by rule identify products by category or use that may not be sold, offered for sale or distributed for sale in this State if they contain intentionally added PFAS and that products in which the use of PFAS is a currently unavoidable use as determined by the department may be exempted by the department by rule.
