This bill establishes comprehensive regulations regarding the sale and distribution of products containing intentionally added perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in New Jersey. It prohibits the sale of various products, including apparel, cosmetics, food packaging, and juvenile products, that contain intentionally added PFAS, with these prohibitions taking effect three years after the bill's enactment. Additionally, the bill mandates specific labeling requirements for outdoor apparel designed for severe wet conditions and cookware containing PFAS, requiring manufacturers to provide information in both English and Spanish, as well as a QR code linking to further details about PFAS.

Furthermore, the bill restricts the discharge of Class B firefighting foam containing PFAS for training and testing purposes, allowing its use only in emergencies with specific containment measures. The Commissioner of Environmental Protection is empowered to enforce compliance, including issuing orders and imposing civil penalties ranging from $1,000 to $20,000 per violation, with ongoing violations incurring additional penalties. Overall, the bill aims to mitigate the risks associated with PFAS in consumer products, thereby protecting public health and the environment.
