<ns0:Subject>Environmental health: product safety: perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances.</ns0:Subject>
</ns0:GeneralSubject>
<ns0:DigestText>
<html:p>Existing law requires the Department of Toxic Substances Control, on or before January 1, 2029, to adopt regulations to enforce specified covered perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) restrictions, which include prohibitions on the distribution, sale, or offering for sale of certain products that contain specified levels of PFAS. Existing law requires the department, on and after July 1, 2030, to enforce and ensure compliance with those provisions and regulations, as provided. Existing law requires manufacturers of these products, on or before July 1, 2029, to register with the department, to pay a registration fee to the department, and to provide a statement of compliance certifying compliance with the applicable prohibitions on the use of PFAS to the department, as specified. Existing law authorizes the department to test products and to rely on third-party testing to
determine compliance with prohibitions on the use of PFAS, as specified. Existing law requires the department to issue a notice of violation for a product in violation of the prohibitions on the use of PFAS, as provided. Existing law authorizes the department to assess an administrative penalty for a violation of these prohibitions and authorizes the department to seek an injunction to restrain a person or entity from violating these prohibitions, as specified.</html:p>
<html:p>This bill would, on and after January 1, 2028, prohibit a person from distributing, selling, or offering for sale a cleaning product, dental floss, juvenile product, food packaging, or ski wax, as provided, that contains intentionally added PFAS, as defined, except for previously used products and as otherwise preempted by federal law. The bill would, until January 1, 2031, exempt certain components of a cleaning product from this prohibition, as specified.
The bill would clarify that, on and after January 1, 2028, a cleaning product is required to comply with certain regulations adopted by the California Air Resources Board regarding volatile organic compounds in consumer products, and would prohibit the use of a regulatory variance to comply with those regulations, as specified. The bill would, on and after January 1, 2030, prohibit a person from distributing, selling, or offering for sale cookware that contains intentionally added PFAS, except for previously used products and as otherwise preempted by federal law. The bill would authorize the department, on or before January 1, 2029, to adopt regulations to carry out these provisions.</html:p>
<html:p>This bill would require these prohibitions on products containing intentionally added PFAS to be enforced by the department pursuant to the existing authority described above, including, but not limited to, product testing and administrative
penalties. The bill would require a manufacturer of a product regulated by the bill to provide a certificate of compliance to the department upon request instead of on or before July 1, 2029. The bill would exempt a manufacturer of a product regulated by the bill from the registration and registration fees required by the existing enforcement authority described above.</html:p>

<ns0:Preamble>The people of the State of California do enact as follows:</ns0:Preamble>
<ns0:BillSection id="id_35A9ABBA-CB61-4F9C-AC91-75814AB1F3B9">
<ns0:Num>SECTION 1.</ns0:Num>
<ns0:Content>
<html:p>The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:</html:p>
<html:p>
(a)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a class of persistent and highly toxic chemicals with widespread contamination across the United States, including California. The United States Geological Survey estimates that 45 percent of the United States’ tap water is contaminated with PFAS. It is also estimated that 98 percent of people living in the United States have PFAS in their blood.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(b)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
PFAS have been and continue to be used in a broad range of industrial processes and in manufacturing products because of
their water and stain resistant, nonstick, surfactant, and other properties, including for making packaging, plastic food ware, cleaning products, ski waxes, menstrual products, metal products, propellants, coatings and paints, and much more, despite the growing body of evidence that these chemicals may leach into food, water supplies, and even the human body through exposures.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(c)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
Exposure to PFAS poses a significant threat to the environment and public health. Adverse health effects associated with PFAS include, but are not limited to, kidney and liver damage, decreased immune system function, including interference with vaccine response and increased risk of asthma, developmental and reproductive harm, increased cholesterol levels, increased thyroid disorders and other hormone disruption, and increased incidences of testicular
and kidney cancer.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(d)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
PFAS in products is a major source of PFAS contamination and phasing out nonessential uses of PFAS must be an immediate legislative objective.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(e)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
The intent of this act is to phase out the sale of products with avoidable PFAS use to address the imminent threat of further contamination of the environment in the state.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(f)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
As the European Union notes in its “Guiding criteria and principles for the essential use concept in EU legislation dealing with chemicals,” the essential use concept, as implemented by this act, is not intended to determine whether a certain substance, product, product group, or service is itself essential for society, nor whether an individual consumer or company considers the use
essential for them.
