The bill amends the "Toxic Packaging Reduction Act" by updating definitions and prohibitions related to packaging materials. It introduces new definitions, such as "intentional introduction of PFAS," which refers to the deliberate use of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in packaging to provide specific characteristics, and sets a future date (July 1, 2027) when the use of regulated chemicals as processing agents or mold release agents will be considered intentional introduction if detected in the final packaging. The bill also clarifies that the use of post-consumer recycled materials is not considered intentional introduction if the final packaging complies with certain sections of the chapter, although this provision will sunset on July 1, 2027.

The bill further specifies prohibitions on the sale or promotion of packaging or packaging components containing intentionally introduced lead, cadmium, mercury, or hexavalent chromium, as opposed to their incidental presence. It sets a maximum concentration for these substances at 100 parts per million by weight. Additionally, the bill delays the ban on intentionally introduced PFAS in food packaging until January 1, 2025. It also prohibits the use of substitute materials that create hazards equal to or greater than the regulated chemicals they replace. The bill authorizes the Department of Environmental Management to participate in a multi-state clearinghouse to assist with the act's requirements and coordination. The act is set to take effect upon passage.
