California Governor Newsom signed AB 1817, which bans the manufacture and sale of clothing and textile items containing PFAS, and AB 2771, which restricts PFAS in cosmetics. He vetoed AB 2247, which would require manufacturers to report products containing added PFAS.
The AB 1817 bill specifically requires manufacturers of covered products that remove PFAS from products to utilize the “least toxic alternative” when identifying the PFAS substitute. AB 2247 would require registration of PFAS on the public accessible reporting platform
