Massachusetts H426 prohibits selling cosmetics tested on animals after the bill's effective date.

Massachusetts H426 aims to protect consumers by banning the sale of cosmetics tested on animals after the bill's enactment. Manufacturers cannot sell or import for profit any cosmetic if they knew or should have known that animal testing was conducted after the bill's effective date. Exceptions include testing required by federal or state agencies, for medical research, or if no alternative testing method exists. The attorney general can review testing data and enforce the law, with penalties for violations.
