This bill introduces a prohibition on the use of animals in product testing under certain circumstances. It establishes definitions for terms such as "alternative test method," "animal," "biomedical research," "contract testing facility," "manufacturer," and "traditional animal test method." The bill specifies that manufacturers or contract testing facilities in the state are not allowed to use traditional animal test methods when an appropriate alternative test method exists or unless a waiver has been granted by the regulating agency. This prohibition does not apply to biomedical research or to any testing required to comply with state or federal agency requirements when no approved alternative method assures human or environmental health or safety.

The bill also mandates record-keeping requirements for manufacturers or contract testing facilities, which include making annual reports available electronically on their websites starting January 20, 2026. These reports must detail any animal testing conducted for purposes other than biomedical research, including the number and species of animals used, the type and number of alternative test methods used, the number of waivers used, and the purpose of the testing for all methods. The act is set to take effect on January 1, 2025. The fiscal note attached to the bill indicates that there is no fiscal impact on state, county, and local expenditures or revenue. There are no insertions or deletions marked in the provided text.
