Illinois enacts HB 2516 banning intentionally added PFAS in consumer products

Public Act 104-0231 (HB 2516) amends the Illinois PFAS Reduction Act to prohibit the sale, distribution, or offering for sale of certain consumer products containing intentionally added PFAS, effective January 1, 2032. Covered products include cosmetics, dental floss, juvenile products, menstrual products, and intimate apparel. The legislation also requires Illinois EPA to submit a report to the General Assembly by August 1, 2027 assessing the authority and resources needed to develop a fluoropolymer review program for consumer products. Cookware and food packaging were removed from the final bill.
