Description
Act 54 (H.238) reduces the PFAS threshold for textiles and textile articles from 100 ppm to 50 ppm as measured in total organic fluorine, effective July 1, 2027. This tighter threshold significantly impacts compliance requirements for apparel and textile manufacturers selling products in Vermont. Products exceeding the 50 ppm threshold will be considered to contain intentionally added PFAS and subject to the sales prohibition.
