Prohibits the sale and distribution of mercury-added lamps; repealer
This bill prohibits the sale, offer for sale, or distribution of mercury-added lamps (like certain fluorescent bulbs) starting January 1, 2028. It directly affects retailers, manufacturers, and distributors of these lamps by requiring them to stop selling or handling such products after that date. The key provision sets a clear 2028 deadline for the ban, repealing an existing law that previously allowed these lamps to be sold. The bill aims to reduce mercury pollution by phasing out these products from the market.
