Senate Bill (SB) 903 (Skinner) would ban the distribution and sale of products containing “intentionally added PFAS” beginning January 1, 2030, unless the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) determines that the use of PFAS in a product is a “currently unavoidable use,” the ban is preempted by federal law, or the product is used.
