This bill amends the Protecting Against Forever Chemicals Act to clarify the definition of "carpet" by explicitly stating that it does not include rugs or fabrics intended solely for use inside vehicles such as aircraft, automobiles, light duty trucks, vans, and buses. This change is intended to exempt these specific types of rugs and fabrics from the regulations outlined in the Act, which aims to address the presence of harmful chemicals in consumer products.

The legal language of the bill modifies Section 3 of the existing law by removing the phrase "[this act]" and replacing it with "P.L.2025, c.202 (C.56:3-53 through C.56:3-63)." Additionally, it introduces a new definition that specifies that "carpet" does not encompass any rug or fabric meant for vehicle use. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
