This bill mandates that manufacturers of firefighting personal protective equipment (PPE) containing perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) provide written notice to purchasers at the time of sale. The notice must inform the purchaser that the equipment contains PFAS, the reasons for its inclusion, and the specific types of PFAS present, listed by both chemical and abbreviated names. Both the manufacturer and the purchaser are required to retain a copy of this notice for at least three years. Additionally, upon request from the Division of Consumer Affairs, they must provide the notice and related sales documentation within 60 days.

Furthermore, the bill prohibits the sale, manufacture, and distribution of firefighting PPE containing intentionally added PFAS starting two years after its effective date. Violations of this prohibition will be classified as unlawful practices under the State's Consumer Fraud Act, which carries penalties including monetary fines, cease and desist orders, and potential treble damages for affected parties. The bill aims to enhance transparency regarding the use of harmful substances in firefighting equipment and to protect public health and safety.
