A 1276 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Provides for the regulation by the department of environmental conservation of business transaction paper containing bisphenol A

This bill prohibits the use of paper containing bisphenol A (BPA) for business transactions like receipts, bank records, and credit/debit card slips. It directly affects paper manufacturers (who must stop producing BPA paper and switch to safer alternatives) and businesses using such paper. Manufacturers must replace BPA with the least toxic alternative certified by the Department of Environmental Conservation, which must annually update its list of approved chemicals and prohibited toxins, while an independent advisory committee evaluates safer options.
