This bill mandates that producers of firefighting personal protective equipment (PPE) containing intentionally added perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) provide written notice to purchasers, informing them of the presence of these substances. The notice must include details about the specific PFAS present, the reasons for their inclusion, and must be provided at the time of sale. Both the producer and the purchaser are required to retain a copy of this notice for at least three years. Additionally, the bill outlines criteria for determining who qualifies as a producer of the equipment, based on manufacturing, brand ownership, or first sale in the state.

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 these provisions are classified as unlawful practices under New Jersey's Consumer Fraud Act, which carries penalties including monetary fines and potential legal actions. The bill also specifies that non-clothing personal protective equipment will be exempt from these restrictions until January 1, 2030.
