AI Summary
Summary

Current law prohibits the sale or distribution of class B firefighting
foam that contains perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl chemicals (PFAS
chemicals). Section 1 of the bill, on and after January 1, 2025, repeals the
exemption from the prohibition for gasoline distribution facilities,
refineries, and chemical plants.
Current law also prohibits the sale or distribution of products in
certain product categories on and after certain dates if the products
contain intentionally added PFAS chemicals (product phaseout timeline).
Current law exempts from the definition of product drugs, medical
devices, biologics, or diagnostics (medical products) approved or
authorized by the federal food and drug administration or the federal
department of agriculture (applicable federal agencies), but not medical
products cleared by the applicable federal agencies. The bill changes
current law by:
  • Clarifying that medical products cleared by the applicable
federal agencies are also exempted from the definition of
product (section 4);
  • On and after January 1, 2025, prohibiting the sale or
distribution of certain outdoor apparel intended for extreme
or extended use in severe wet conditions (outdoor apparel
for severe wet conditions) that contains intentionally added
PFAS chemicals unless the product is accompanied by a
disclosure that states that the product contains PFAS
chemicals (disclosure requirement) (section 5);
  • On and after January 1, 2025, as part of the product
phaseout timeline, banning the sale or distribution of
cleaning products, cookware, dental floss, menstruation
products, ski wax, and textile articles that contain
intentionally added PFAS chemicals (section 5);
  • On and after January 1, 2028, repealing the disclosure
requirement and banning the sale or distribution of outdoor
apparel for severe wet conditions that contains intentionally
added PFAS chemicals (section 5);
  • On and after January 1, 2032, repealing the product
phaseout timeline (section 5) and prohibiting the sale or
distribution of any nonexempted product that contains
intentionally added PFAS chemicals (section 6); and
  • On and after July 1, 2024, prohibiting a person from
installing artificial turf that contains intentionally added
PFAS chemicals on any portion of property in the state
(section 6).
