Digest
HB 1674 addresses the regulation of agricultural products containing perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). It seeks to amend the Agriculture Code by defining PFAS and establishing strict limits on their presence in fertilizers and other agricultural materials derived from sewage sludge or similar sources. The bill mandates regular testing and reporting of PFAS levels in these materials, requires manufacturers to dispose of noncompliant batches, and imposes penalties for violations, including criminal charges. It also creates mechanisms for enforcing compliance, including stop-sale orders and permit suspensions for repeated violations. This legislation aims to limit environmental and health risks associated with PFAS in agricultural use.
