CT SB00126

Creates definitions for "chemical" (a substance with distinct molecular composition or group of related substances) and "priority chemical" (chemicals known to harm fetal/child development, cause cancer, disrupt endocrine systems, damage nervous/immune systems, or persist and bioaccumulate).

Requires the Commissioner of Public Health, in consultation with the Commissioners of Energy and Environmental Protection and Consumer Protection, to create and maintain a list of priority chemicals of high concern to children by January 1, 2015, based on exposure potential and criteria including biomonitoring evidence, presence in home environments, and inclusion in consumer products.

Mandates biennial review and revision of the priority chemicals list and requires annual reports to the joint standing committee on public health beginning July 1, 2015, including recommendations to reduce exposure, product listings, actions in other states, and feasibility assessments of 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 their findings.
