An act relating to prohibiting the use of trichloroethylene

This bill prohibits the use of trichloroethylene in various industrial applications, including as a vapor degreaser, refrigerant, extraction solvent, or intermediate chemical in manufacturing processes. It directly affects businesses and facilities that currently use this chemical for cleaning metal parts or other industrial purposes. The legislation defines specific terms like "vapor degreaser" and "extraction solvent" to clarify the scope of the ban. The prohibition will take effect on July 1, 2026, giving industries time to adjust their operations before the ban is enforced.
