S 8412 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to extending the exemption of certain chemicals used in mattresses from regulation for an additional year

This bill extends an existing exemption allowing mattress manufacturers to use specific chemicals (modacrylic fiber without antimony trioxide or aramid fibers) in certain mattress components without facing environmental regulations. The exemption, which currently expires January 1, 2027, is extended to January 1, 2028. It directly affects mattress producers who rely on these chemical treatments for internal barriers or bottom fabric layers in memory foam, gel foam, or one-sided mattresses. The key provision simply delays the regulatory compliance date by one year for these particular materials.
