New Hampshire HB1544 mandates the use of fragrance-free products in public areas of state buildings.

New Hampshire HB1544 aims to protect individuals with medical conditions, such as asthma or allergies, from the irritants and triggers that scented products can cause. The bill requires all state buildings open to the public to use only fragrance-free cleaning products, provide fragrance-free products in restrooms and personal hygiene locations, and prohibit the use of fragrance dispensing devices. This mandate is based on findings that scented products can be harmful and the American Medical Association's recommendation for fragrance-free environments.
