This bill aims to prohibit the sale of ski, boat, and board waxes that contain intentionally added per and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS). To implement this restriction, the bill amends RSA 149-M:64, IV by adding a new subparagraph (i) that specifically addresses waxes produced for use on boats, skis, surfboards, bodyboards, or skimboards. This addition is intended to protect consumers and the environment from the harmful effects of PFAS, which are known to be persistent in the environment and potentially hazardous to human health.

The bill is set to take effect 60 days after its passage, with an approved date of May 14, 2025, and an effective date of July 13, 2025. There are no deletions from current law mentioned in the text, indicating that the new regulation will be an addition to existing consumer product regulations without removing any existing provisions.
