Defines "priority chemical" as a substance known to harm fetal or child development, cause cancer or reproductive harm, disrupt the endocrine system, damage the nervous system or organs, or be persistent and bioaccumulative.

Mandates commissioners to review and revise the priority chemical list at least biennially, considering chemicals found in human tissues, household dust, drinking water, and consumer products.

Requires the Commissioner of Public Health to report biennially to relevant legislative committees beginning July 1, 2015, including recommendations to reduce exposure, products containing priority chemicals, actions taken in other states, and feasibility assessments for phasing out or banning products.

Authorizes the Commissioner of Public Health to require manufacturers and distributors of children's products containing priority chemicals to assess the feasibility of replacing those chemicals with safer alternatives and report findings to the commissioner.
