Bill summary
The bill amends RSA 149-M:64 to prohibit the sale of condoms and personal lubricants that contain intentionally added per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
Manufacturers, distributors, and retailers of condoms and personal lubricants in New Hampshire are directly affected.
Entities must remove and stop the sale of products containing intentionally added PFAS within 60 days of the bill's passage.
Fiscal impact on the state and municipalities is 'indeterminable' due to potential enforcement and judicial costs associated with statutory violations.
The act takes effect 60 days after its passage.
Reduces public exposure to 'forever chemicals' via products designed for intimate use, potentially improving public health outcomes.
Potential for supply shortages, increased product costs, and the lack of clarity on whether manufacturers will shift to poorly-studied alternative chemicals.
The effectiveness of enforcement mechanisms and whether 'intentionally added' will be interpreted to include incidental contamination during manufacturing.
Modeled effects across six domains, estimated from bill text and comparable legislation.
