An act relating to regulating products containing certain chemicals and chemical classes

This bill prohibits the manufacture, sale, and distribution of specific products containing PFAS chemicals in Vermont, with different deadlines for different product categories. It immediately bans PFAS in pesticides, apparel, cookware, and paper products by January 1, 2024, while also restricting certain cosmetic products by 2026 and aiming for a complete PFAS ban across all products by 2030. The law requires manufacturers to submit confidential formula statements and mandates testing for pesticides packaged in fluorinated containers to detect chemical leaching. These provisions directly affect manufacturers, distributors, and retailers of the listed products while establishing clear compliance timelines and reporting requirements.
