PFAS Polyfluoroalky Substances Manufacturer Notice Requirements

House Bill 19-1279, concerning the use of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, requires manufacturers of class B firefighting foam that contains intentionally added polyfluoroalkyl substances to notify, in writing, sellers of their products about the state's new regulations of these products "no less than one year prior to the effective date of section 25-5-1303", which is impossible because the notice requirements did not exist prior to the bill's effective date on August 2, 2019. The act addresses this error by modifying the effective date of the required notice to prior to August 2, 2020.
