PFAS chemicals are used in car seats and upholstery, dashboard and interior coatings,
brake systems and tires, and wiring and insulation, the proposed regulation would have had numerous
effects on the auto industry.
Our position
In states with auto manufacturing plants, auto companies would at a
minimum need to watch the amount of these chemicals being released into drinking water as waste; most
likely, they would need to explore alternative options to these chemicals in the manufacturing process in
order to keep them at the standard levels. Both actions would have cost extra labor, time, and money to
follow that they are now able to save because the regulations have been withdrawn. However, companies
will still need to adhere to pre-established guidelines in individual states, the number of which may
increase now that protections have been left up to the states as many believe current PFAS levels are
unacceptable.

AT A GLANCE This act requires producers of covered plastic packaging to register annually and reduce packaging against baseline by 10% within two years, reaching 50% within 10 years. FULL SUMMARY Establishes requirements for producers of covered plastic packaging sold, offered for sale, imported, or distributed in New Jersey. Producers must register annually with the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), pay a variable registration fee, report packaging by unit and weight, certify compliance, and provide required information. Producers must reduce covered plastic packaging against their registration-year baseline by 10% within two years of registration, 20% within four years, 30% within six years, 40% within eight years, and 50% within 10 years. Reductions may use packaging elimination or reduction, reuse and refill systems, rightsizing or lightweighting, optimization, or replacement with nonplastic materials, but may not be achieved through disposal. DEP may waive reductions for specified non-food-contact packaging if at least 75% by weight was managed through a reuse and refill system in the preceding calendar year.

AT A GLANCE This bill prohibits, for five years beginning 60 days after becoming law, land application in New York of biosolids and biosolids-derived products, and bars related permits and sales. FULL SUMMARY The bill amends New York’s Environmental Conservation Law by adding a five-year moratorium, beginning on the act’s effective date, on the land application of biosolids generated by public or private wastewater treatment facilities, as well as compost and other fertilizer, soil-amendment, topsoil-replacement, mulch, or similar agricultural products derived from or containing those biosolids. It also bars the issuance, renewal, or approval of permits for those land applications and prohibits selling, offering for sale, distributing, or otherwise providing biosolids or products containing biosolids in New York for those purposes. “Biosolids,” “PFAS,” and “wastewater treatment facility” are defined for the new provisions. The moratoria do not cover disposal or placement of the affected materials in a solid-waste landfill, or the application, sale, or distribution of materials derived from food, food waste, crops, vegetative material, manure, litter, food-processing waste, certa...
The document outlines amendments to Missouri's Revised Statutes concerning products that contain intentionally added perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The amendments introduce new regulations that require manufacturers to disclose specific information about their products containing PFAS, including product descriptions, purposes for PFAS use, and quantities, to the director of the department of natural resources by January 1, 2027. Starting January 1, 2027, the sale and distribution of certain products containing intentionally added PFAS will be prohibited. These products include carpets, cleaning products, cookware, cosmetics, dental floss, fabric treatments, juvenile products, menstruation products, textile furnishings, ski wax, and upholstered furniture. By January 1, 2033, any product containing intentionally added PFAS will be banned unless deemed unavoidable by the director. The regulations aim to address health and environmental concerns associated with PFAS, impacting various industries such as manufacturing, retail, automotive, cleaning, cosmetics, and juvenile products. Manufacturers may face increased compliance costs and may need to reformulate or...

Recent legislative changes in Wisconsin introduce a wide range of funding initiatives aimed at enhancing agricultural practices, economic development, education, healthcare, and public safety. The Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection will provide grants for biodigester operator certification and support for dairy producers, while economic development initiatives include increased funding for small business grants and workforce housing tax credits. Reforms in juvenile justice focus on improving the system and enhancing privacy protections for judicial officers. Significant adjustments to educational funding will increase per pupil aid, special education funding, and support for mental health services and school meals. In healthcare, the legislation allocates funds for various programs, including mental health services and nursing education, while also addressing prescription drug costs and expanding access to essential health benefits. Changes to election laws aim to enhance voter participation and streamline processes, including reinstating voter registration in high schools.

AT A GLANCE This bill prohibits New York sellers from selling or offering anti-fogging sprays or wipes for eyeglasses containing intentionally added PFAS or PFAS above a department-established concentration. FULL SUMMARY The bill adds Environmental Conservation Law § 37-0125, prohibiting the sale or offer for sale in New York of anti-fogging sprays or wipes intended to prevent condensation on eyeglasses if they contain PFAS as intentionally added chemicals or at or above a concentration established by the Department of Environmental Conservation by regulation. It defines covered products, PFAS, manufacturers, and intentionally added chemicals; for imported products, the manufacturer may be the importer or first domestic distributor when no qualifying U.S. manufacturer is present. Retailers and other sellers receive a safe harbor if they relied in good faith on a manufacturer’s written certificate of compliance, signed by an authorized official, stating that the product satisfies the requirements.

The proposed legislation introduces exemptions from certain provisions of the "spills law" for individuals and entities involved with PFAS (perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances) contamination. These exemptions apply to those who spread biosolids or wastewater residuals contaminated by PFAS, provided they did so in compliance with relevant licenses or permits, as well as landowners where such materials were spread under the same conditions. Additionally, fire departments, public-use airports, and municipalities that responded to emergencies involving PFAS or conducted related training in accordance with federal regulations are also exempt. Solid waste disposal facilities that accepted PFAS and individuals or entities that own, lease, manage, or contract for property where PFAS contamination did not originate are included in these exemptions, unless they have ownership or control over the property where the discharge originated. The legislation allows these exempted parties to avoid certain enforcement actions under the spills law if they permit the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to remediate the contaminated land at the department's expense.

AT A GLANCE This bill requires DNR to establish PFAS grants for municipalities and eligible innocent landowners, limiting municipal grants to PFAS covered by specified standards or health advisories. FULL SUMMARY The bill requires the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to establish a municipal PFAS grant program covering only PFAS subject to a state or federal standard, a Wisconsin Department of Health Services public-health recommendation, or a federal Environmental Protection Agency health advisory. Grants support PFAS testing by municipalities, nonmunicipal public or community water systems (up to $1,800), and privately owned solid-waste facilities (up to $15,000 for leachate testing); municipal testing at potentially contaminated locations; disposal or on-site treatment of PFAS-containing biosolids or leachate, excluding landspreading costs; capital costs, debt service, infrastructure, pollutant-minimization plans, and certain source-reduction measures. Capital grants may cover up to 50 percent of eligible municipal costs and must prioritize projects addressing exceedances; matching requirements for other grants generally may not exceed 20 percent. DNR may not require gra...

The bill amends Rhode Island’s definition of “intentionally added PFAS” in the Consumer PFAS Ban Act of 2024. It defines the term as PFAS deliberately added during the manufacture of a covered product to provide a specific characteristic, appearance, quality, or function, rather than PFAS added to a covered product or one of its components for those purposes. The change removes express coverage of PFAS degradation byproducts and intentional breakdown products, and removes the provision treating PFAS used as a processing agent, mold-release agent, or intermediate as intentionally introduced when detected in the final product or packaging for a desired function. The act takes effect upon passage.

The document introduces new provisions related to the regulation and management of PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances). It authorizes the Department of Environmental Protection to adopt and update statewide cleanup target levels for PFAS, with such updates requiring legislative ratification. Until these rules are ratified, governmental and private water entities are protected from enforcement actions concerning PFAS, and interim screening values must be adopted until final EPA standards are established. The department is also permitted to update cleanup levels as necessary to align with EPA risk assessments or health advisories. Additionally, the bill establishes liability protections for bona fide prospective purchasers (BFPPs), requiring conduct of appropriate inquiries and providing application review timelines, with protections against liability for pre-acquisition contamination. These protections are contingent upon compliance with application procedures and are forfeited if violations occur. The legislation also creates a liability protection program and authorizes financial assistance for eligible sites. The bill further defines Class B firefighting foam containing...

The bill creates section 403.7034 of the Florida Statutes, establishing standards for local regulation of drinking straws and stirrers. It prohibits local entities from enacting rules that do not meet the specified requirements and mandates that any such rules require straws and stirrers to be renewable, home compostable certified, industrial compostable certified, or marine biodegradable. The regulation sets definitions for relevant terms, including "certification body," "home compostable certified," "industrial compostable certified," "marine biodegradable," and "renewable." The new standards include exemptions for prepackaged drinks sold at commercial establishments, hospitals, medical care facilities, and senior care facilities. Local rules must meet these criteria to be valid, and the division is directed to replace references to "the effective date of this act" with the actual date the act becomes law.

The bill establishes definitions for PFAS, perfluoroalkyl substances, polyfluoroalkyl substances, fully fluorinated carbon atoms, and manufacturing processes. It subjects any current or former owner or operator of a PFAS facility to the federal requirements in 40 C.F.R. §§ 265.111 and 265.114 when a PFAS release from the facility results in combined PFAS concentrations of at least 500 parts per trillion in groundwater or surface water, for PFAS compounds with ambient groundwater quality standards under RSA 485-C. Those federal requirements apply to closure, removal from service, or decommissioning of tanks, piping, containers, manufacturing equipment, waste or wastewater treatment infrastructure, air-pollution-control devices, and the interior and exterior surfaces of buildings and structures used for handling, storing, treating, or otherwise managing PFAS-containing materials or wastes. The bill specifies that these provisions do not limit the applicability of RSA 147-B:10 or RSA 147-B:10-a to otherwise covered PFAS releases. The act takes effect 60 days after passage.

The document outlines the establishment of a PFAS Mitigation Program in California, designed to address the contamination of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in drinking water and wastewater systems. A PFAS Mitigation Fund will be created within the State Treasury, funded through state, federal, and private sources, and will be used for specific purposes related to PFAS remediation and treatment. Key industries impacted by this program include water suppliers and sewer system providers, which will be eligible for financial assistance in the form of grants, loans, or contracts. This funding will help cover costs associated with treating drinking water and wastewater to meet state and federal PFAS contaminant levels, as well as support the construction and upgrading of treatment facilities and monitoring infrastructure. To qualify for funding, water suppliers and sewer system providers must demonstrate how the funds will benefit their communities in relation to safe drinking water, recycled water, stormwater, or treated wastewater.

The document outlines new regulations concerning perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) that will significantly impact various industries, including those involved in manufacturing cleaning products, dental floss, juvenile products, food packaging, ski wax, and cookware. The legislation aims to phase out the use of intentionally added PFAS in these products due to their toxic nature and associated health risks. Key provisions include a prohibition on the sale of cleaning products, dental floss, juvenile products, food packaging, and ski wax containing intentionally added PFAS starting January 1, 2028, and a similar prohibition for cookware beginning January 1, 2030. Manufacturers will be required to register with the Department of Toxic Substances Control and provide compliance documentation by July 1, 2029. The legislation emphasizes the need for manufacturers to adapt to these changes, as compliance will be enforced starting July 1, 2030. Additionally, the department will publish a list of accepted testing methods by January 1, 2029, to assist manufacturers in meeting the new requirements.

The recent legislation amends Minnesota Statutes to exempt off-highway vehicles, snowmobiles, and electric-assisted bicycles from restrictions on perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in certain juvenile products. This change affects various industries, including manufacturers of juvenile products, automotive maintenance products, cleaning products, and textiles, as they may need to revise their formulations and compliance strategies regarding PFAS usage. The definition of "juvenile product" has been clarified to encompass items designed for infants and children under 12 years of age, while explicitly excluding certain products such as children's electronic devices and adult mattresses. These amendments will take effect the day after final enactment. While specific monetary impacts are not detailed, businesses may face costs related to compliance adjustments and potential reformulation of their products.

AT A GLANCE This act grants PFAS receivers, excluding PFAS manufacturers, immunity from damages claims arising from intended or incidental PFAS use, receipt, disposal, or handling unless plaintiffs plead particularized facts showing gross negligence. FULL SUMMARY Title 51 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated is amended by adding a chapter establishing the “PFAS Receiver Shield Act.” It defines PFAS, PFAS substances, PFAS manufacturers, PFAS monomers, PFAS receivers, and gross negligence. A PFAS receiver—excluding an entity that is also a PFAS manufacturer—includes entities that use PFAS in manufacturing or agriculture; receive, purchase, or own PFAS-containing goods; or are licensed and regulated by the Environmental Protection Division to receive PFAS-containing solid waste or wastewater. Absent gross negligence, a PFAS receiver is immune from damages claims arising from or related to its intended or incidental use, receipt, disposal, or handling of PFAS. Plaintiffs seeking to overcome the immunity must plead particularized facts demonstrating gross negligence, with the court deciding as a matter of law whether the conduct qualifies.

AT A GLANCE This bill makes $20 million available for municipal environmental remediation assistance without requiring a memorandum of understanding, subject to available appropriations. FULL SUMMARY The bill amends New York’s Environmental Conservation Law to authorize funding for environmental restoration projects, beginning in the state fiscal year following the provision’s immediate effective date, subject to available appropriations. It repeals one existing eligibility provision and expands the program’s definitions: “contaminant” includes hazardous waste, petroleum, specified Public Health Law chemicals, emerging contaminants, and PFAS substances for which an approved, recommended, certified, or used testing method exists; “contamination” means the presence of a contaminant in soil, surface water, groundwater, air, or indoor air; and “PFAS substances” are fluorinated organic chemicals containing at least one fully fluorinated carbon atom. A municipality is excluded from the program only when gross negligence or willful or intentional misconduct caused or contributed to contamination that threatens public health or the environment at the project site.

Feb 2, 2026 · From committee: Filed with the Chief Clerk pursuant to Joint Rule 56.
The document outlines significant regulatory changes regarding perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in consumer products in California. Starting January 1, 2028, the distribution, sale, or offering for sale of covered products containing intentionally added PFAS will be prohibited, unless a regulatory response has been issued by the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) or if federal law preempts this prohibition. The DTSC is tasked with adopting regulations to implement these provisions and enforce restrictions on specified PFAS levels in certain products. Manufacturers of covered products will be required to register with the DTSC and provide a statement of compliance regarding PFAS prohibitions. These regulations will impact various industries, including those producing juvenile products, textiles, food packaging, cleaning products, cookware, and ski wax. The DTSC will also analyze and report on the presence of PFAS in industrial processes and products, focusing on risk assessment and potential human exposure. Overall, these changes aim to enhance product safety and environmental health by regulating harmful substances in consumer goods.

The document outlines new regulations in California aimed at phasing out perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in consumer products. The regulations will prohibit the distribution, sale, or offering for sale of certain consumer products containing intentionally added PFAS, with a full enforcement timeline extending to 2030. The regulations will impact various industries, particularly manufacturers and retailers involved in the production and sale of artificial turf, carpets and rugs, cleaning products, cookware, dental floss, fabric treatments, and upholstered furniture. These sectors will need to adapt to the new standards to ensure compliance. The Department of Toxic Substances Control will oversee the implementation of these regulations, including the authority to test products for compliance and designate additional product categories for regulation if safer alternatives are available. The legislation aims to reduce environmental contamination from PFAS while allowing the continued use of fluoropolymers, which are considered to pose lower health risks.

The General Assembly of North Carolina has introduced legislation aimed at enhancing environmental responsibility among producers of packaging materials. This legislation establishes extended producer responsibility, requiring producers to manage the lifecycle of their packaging, including the reduction of non-reusable materials and the incorporation of postconsumer waste. Key industries impacted include manufacturers and distributors in sectors such as food, drugs, medical devices, and dietary supplements. Producers must register with the Department and participate in a producer responsibility organization that implements an approved stewardship plan. This plan outlines specific targets for reducing non-reusable packaging and increasing recycling rates over defined timelines. Additionally, producers are required to label their packaging with information regarding recyclability and postconsumer waste content. The legislation also addresses the use of certain toxic substances in packaging materials, specifically banning the intentional addition of PFAS and other hazardous substances. This ban will affect industries involved in food packaging and related products, necessitating co...
