The bill amends the "Consumer PFAS Ban Act of 2024" to include new definitions and regulations regarding the use of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in consumer products, specifically focusing on firefighting personal protective equipment. It introduces a new definition for "firefighting personal protective equipment" and prohibits a manufacturer or other person that sells such equipment to any person, local government, or state agency from manufacturing, knowingly selling, offering for sale, distributing for sale, or distributing for use in the state any firefighting personal protective equipment containing intentionally-added PFAS, effective January 1, 2027.

The bill also includes a provision that bans the discharge or use of class B firefighting foam containing intentionally added PFAS starting January 1, 2025, and restricts manufacturers from producing or distributing such foam. Additionally, it mandates that manufacturers of firefighting personal protective equipment provide written notice to purchasers if their products contain PFAS.

Compliance measures for the use of PFAS-containing firefighting foam are outlined, including reporting requirements for any use and strict containment protocols to prevent environmental release. The bill establishes penalties for violations and requires manufacturers to notify retailers about the restrictions at least one year prior to their enforcement. The Department of Environmental Management is tasked with assisting local governments and agencies in transitioning away from PFAS-containing products and ensuring compliance with the new regulations.
