Vermont bill phases out consumer products with added perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).

The Vermont bill proposes to phase out and ultimately prohibit the manufacture, sale, or distribution of consumer products containing added perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). It defines PFAS and outlines exemptions, including products governed by federal law and those with at least 50% recycled content. The bill mandates the Secretary of Natural Resources to recommend addressing PFAS in food and complex durable goods. It also requires manufacturers to certify compliance and participate in a multijurisdiction clearinghouse.
