The bill, SF No 376, is aimed at enhancing consumer safety by setting stricter standards for the presence of harmful chemicals in certain products. Key points include:

1. Broadening Definitions: It expands the list of products considered under existing regulations to include items such as jewelry, toys, cosmetics, school supplies, and menstrual products.

2. Restricting Hazardous Chemicals: The bill strictly prohibits the sale of any product or component (from the defined list) that exceeds specific limits of lead and cadmium content. It also specifically bans menstrual products containing arsenic or other particularly harmful chemicals.

3. Mandatory Testing and Labeling for Menstrual Products: Manufacturers of menstrual products must conduct tests and provide certificates confirming that their products are free from the banned chemicals. They are also required to clearly label synthetic ingredients in their products.

4. Rulemaking Authority: The bill allows relevant state agencies to formulate additional regulations for the prohibition of other potentially harmful chemicals in products. Implementation dates for these regulations can range between 2027 and 2032, prioritizing products that pose significant environmental risks.

5. Enforcement and Compliance: State agencies will coordinate to enforce these regulations, and manufacturers must comply with information requests to prove that their products meet safety standards.

Overall, the bill focuses on minimizing consumer exposure to harmful chemicals, ensuring product safety, and protecting environmental health.
