MODERATE

This bill was reformatted from an introduced version to a Senate engrossed version, with substantive additions of two new sections (44-1784 and 44-1785) that establish state preemption over local cosmetic sales regulations and set civil penalties for violations. The core prohibitions on cosmetic animal testing remain unchanged, but the bill now explicitly prevents cities and counties from regulating cosmetics and creates financial consequences for manufacturers who violate the law.

Scope change

The bill's scope expanded to include state preemption of local regulations and enforcement mechanisms that were not present in the introduced version.

ENFORCEMENT

Added Section 44-1784 establishing state preemption, preventing counties, cities, and other local governments from regulating cosmetic sales.

Added Section 44-1785 creating civil penalties of up to $1,000 for the first day of violation and $500 for each subsequent day.

TIMELINE

Added language clarifying that the transition period applies to both finished cosmetics and individual ingredients tested before January 1, 2026.

EXCEPTIONS

Added a new exception allowing cosmetic manufacturers to review, assess, or retain evidence from cosmetic animal testing.

MODIFIED

Minor formatting changes including removal of prefiled reference text and reorganization of statutory language structure.
