Prohibits the distribution and use of paper containing bisphenol A for business transactions.
The bill amends the environmental conservation law to prohibit the distribution and use of paper containing bisphenol A for recording business transactions. It mandates that any chemical compound replacing bisphenol A must be the least toxic alternative and not a known human carcinogen, developmental toxin, endocrine disruptor, or reproductive toxin. The Department of Environmental Conservation is responsible for certifying these alternatives and providing information to paper manufacturers. The bill also establishes an advisory committee to advise on least toxic alternatives to bisphenol A.
