HF605 - Toxic Free Kids Act Summary

• Amends criteria for identifying priority chemicals in children's products to include high-production volume chemicals found through biomonitoring in human tissues, household dust, drinking water, or natural environments.

• Requires manufacturers and distributors of children's products containing priority chemicals to report information to the Pollution Control Agency, with reporting timelines ranging from one to five years based on company gross sales.

• Authorizes the Pollution Control Agency to prohibit sale of children's products containing priority chemicals unless manufacturers obtain exposure determination, remove the chemical, discontinue the product, or receive a waiver.

• Establishes a waiver process allowing manufacturers up to two years (renewable for one additional two-year term) to continue selling products if no technically or economically feasible safer alternative exists and lack of availability poses public health risk.

• Imposes fees on manufacturers and distributors for reporting, compliance plans, waiver applications, and third-party contract costs; creates criminal misdemeanor penalty for knowing violations involving prohibited sales.
