Exempts rugs and fabrics used in vehicles from provisions of "Protecting Against Forever Chemicals Act."

This bill amends New Jersey's "Protecting Against Forever Chemicals Act" to explicitly exempt rugs and fabrics intended solely for use inside vehicles from its regulations. The change clarifies that the law's definition of "carpet" does not cover interior vehicle materials such as those used in automobiles, vans, buses, aircraft, and light-duty trucks. By making this distinction, the legislation ensures that vehicle interior textiles are not subject to restrictions on perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) that apply to other floor coverings. This adjustment affects manufacturers and suppliers of automotive textiles by excluding them from the act's compliance requirements.
