On February 25, 2026, DTSC released the proposed Priority Product for Floor Maintenance Products Containing Perfluoroalkyl or Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFASs). If finalized, floor maintenance products containing PFAS would be subject to California's Safer Consumer Products Program requirements, including manufacturer notification and alternatives analysis obligations.
California’s privacy.ca.gov data brokers page describes operational compliance obligations under the Delete Act, including use of the Delete Request and Opt-out Platform (DROP). It specifies that data brokers must register annually (registration due Jan 31 via DROP) and, starting Aug 1, 2026, must process DROP deletion requests on a 45-day cycle (e.g., download hashed identifier lists, delete matching personal information, and report status). The guidance also notes pass-through of deletion requests to contractors/service providers and maintaining suppression processes. This is directly relevant to vendor privacy governance where organizations operate as data brokers or contract with data brokers and need contractual/technical mechanisms for deletion request pass-through and periodic processing.
Governor Newsom vetoed SB 682 on October 13, 2025. The bill would have prohibited intentionally added PFAS in cleaning products, dental floss, juvenile products, food packaging, and ski wax (effective January 1, 2028), and cookware (effective January 1, 2030). The veto message cited concerns about enforcement mechanisms and the absence of an identified regulatory agency to ensure compliance with the proposed restrictions.
AB 2515 (Chapter 1008, Statutes of 2024) prohibits the manufacture, sale, delivery, holding, or offering for sale in California of menstrual products containing intentionally added perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Expands California's comprehensive PFAS product restrictions beyond existing categories (textiles, cosmetics, juvenile products, food packaging).
AB 347 (Chapter 932, Statutes of 2024) creates California's first comprehensive enforcement mechanism for PFAS product prohibitions under AB 1817 (textiles), AB 1200 (food packaging), and AB 652 (juvenile products). DTSC must adopt regulations and publish testing methods by January 1, 2029. Manufacturers must register and provide compliance statements by July 1, 2029. Enforcement with penalty authority begins July 1, 2030.
