The bill amends the "Toxic Packaging Reduction Act" by updating definitions and prohibition schedules related to packaging materials. Key insertions include a new definition for "Intentional introduction of PFAS," which refers to the deliberate use of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in packaging to provide specific characteristics, and a stipulation that, as of July 1, 2027, the use of a regulated chemical as a processing agent, mold release agent, or intermediate will be considered intentional introduction if detected in the final product. Additionally, the bill clarifies that the use of post-consumer recycled materials containing regulated chemicals is not considered intentional introduction if the final packaging complies with certain sections of the chapter, with this provision set to sunset on July 1, 2027.

The bill also revises the prohibition schedule for the removal of incidental amounts of regulated substances in packaging. It delays the ban on intentionally introduced PFAS in food packaging until January 1, 2025. Furthermore, it prohibits the use of substitute materials that create hazards equal to or greater than the chemicals they replace and authorizes the Department of Environmental Management to participate in a multi-state clearinghouse to assist with the act's requirements. The bill would take effect upon passage and also delays the ban on the use of PFAS as processing agents until July 1, 2027.
