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.
