Prohibits the use of unencapsulated foam flotation in docks, buoys and floating structures

This bill prohibits the sale, offer for sale, or distribution of polystyrene foam docks, buoys, and floating structures in New York State. It specifically bans products made with expanded polystyrene foam, extruded polystyrene foam, or rigid polystyrene. The prohibition takes effect on January 1, 2027, directly affecting manufacturers, retailers, and distributors of these items. The law aims to reduce plastic pollution in waterways by eliminating a common source of persistent foam debris.
