The bill amends Section 23-18.18-4 of the "Consumer PFAS Ban Act of 2024" to establish a prohibition on the manufacture, sale, or distribution of products containing intentionally added perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in the state. Starting January 1, 2027, no covered products with PFAS may be sold, and by January 1, 2029, this prohibition extends specifically to artificial turf and outdoor apparel for severe wet conditions, unless accompanied by a clear disclosure stating the presence of PFAS. The bill also outlines the responsibilities of manufacturers and the director of the department regarding compliance and notification of prohibited products.

Additionally, the bill introduces an exemption for durable items containing PFAS that are authorized by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for food contact in consumer goods, clarifying that such products are not subject to the restrictions imposed by the consumer PFAS ban. The act is set to take effect upon passage.
