Understanding PFAS state requirements
California, Maine, New York, Washington, Colorado, Connecticut — what each requires.
PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are regulated state-by-state, not federally. Aleph tracks the requirements for the six most active states and generates state-specific reports.
- California (AB 1817, AB 2771) — apparel and cosmetics PFAS bans, with disclosure requirements.
- Maine (LD 1503) — broadest restrictions; sales bans on intentionally-added PFAS by 2030, with annual disclosure required.
- New York (S 6291) — apparel ban effective 2025.
- Washington (SCPA) — priority products list with phased restrictions.
- Colorado (HB 22-1345) — phased bans across cookware, cosmetics, textiles, and food packaging.
- Connecticut (HB 6486) — intentionally-added PFAS prohibited in food packaging.
