SF466 Summary

• Expands the Pollution Control Agency's authority to identify and regulate "priority chemicals" in children's products based on evidence they cause developmental toxicity, cancer, reproductive harm, endocrine disruption, or organ damage.

• Requires manufacturers and distributors of children's products containing priority chemicals to report detailed information to the agency, with submission timelines ranging from one to five years depending on company size (based on gross sales).

• Establishes a prohibition on sales of children's products containing priority chemicals unless manufacturers obtain an exposure determination, remove the chemical, discontinue the product, or secure a waiver from the commissioner.

• Authorizes the commissioner to grant waivers for up to two years (renewable for one additional two-year term) if no feasible safer alternative exists and the product's unavailability poses unreasonable public health risks.

• Imposes fees on manufacturers for reports, compliance plans, waiver applications, and contracted third-party testing, with fees deposited in the environmental fund; requires agency report to legislature by January 15, 2015 on implementation plans.
