Assembly Bill 347 would charge the Department of Toxic Substances Control with creating a new regulatory enforcement program for PFAS-in-consumer products bans.

If the Legislature adopts the Governor’s proposal, the Cleanup in Vulnerable Communities Initiative will see reductions of $136 million in fiscal year (FY) 2023–24 (the current fiscal year), $85 million in FY 2024–25, and $47.5 million in FY 2025-26.

Senate Bill (SB) 903 (Skinner) would ban the distribution and sale of products containing “intentionally added PFAS” beginning January 1, 2030, unless the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) determines that the use of PFAS in a product is a “currently unavoidable use,” the ban is preempted by federal law, or the product is used.
