S 3041 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

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

S 3041 prohibits the use of paper containing bisphenol A (BPA) for business transactions like receipts, bank records, and credit/debit card slips in New York. It bans businesses from distributing or using such paper and requires paper manufacturers to switch to the least toxic alternative without replacing BPA with other harmful chemicals (e.g., known carcinogens or endocrine disruptors). The New York Department of Environmental Conservation must certify these alternatives as safe and update annual safety guidelines for manufacturers. The bill directly affects all New York businesses handling transaction paper and paper manufacturers supplying this paper.
