Relates to enacting the cleaning product right to know act, which establishes labeling requirements for cleaning products that contain hazardous ingredients.
NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)
BILL NUMBER: A2208
SPONSOR: Ortiz TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the environmental conservation law and
the general business law, in relation to enacting the cleaning product
right to know act
PURPOSE:
The New York State Cleaning Product to Know Act will require known
hazardous chemicals in cleaning products to be listed on both product
labels and online.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section 1; cites the legislation as the "NYS Cleaning Product Right to
Know Act.
Section 2; Sections 35-0101 through 35-0109 of article 35 of the envi-
ronmental conservation law shall be entitled; Cleansing Products
Containing Phosphorus.
Section 3; Article 35 of the environmental conservation law is amended
by adding a title 2; Ingredient Labeling For Cleansing Products Sold
In-Store and Online. Chemicals of concern shall be listed in detail
Section 4; The general business law is amended by adding a new section
399-ggg to read as follows: Labeling of cleaning products. No person,
firm, or corporation shall sell or offer for sale any household cleans-
ing product in violation of title two or article thirty-five of the
environmental conservation law.
Section 5; This act shall take effect one year after it shall have
become a law. Effective immediately, the addition, amendment and/or
repeal of any rule or regulation necessary for the implementation of
this act on its effective date are authorized to be made and completed
on or before such effective date.
JUSTIFICATION:
Unlike retail cosmetics or packaged food, no federal requirements exist
for disclosing ingredients in cleaning products which means this legis-
lation will raise a new high bar for cleaning product ingredient disclo-
sure nationwide.
The New York State Cleaning Product to Know Act will require known
hazardous chemicals in cleaning products to be listed on both product
labels and online. Chemicals found in cleaning products have been shown
to cause cancer, birth defects, asthma and other serious health effects
and ingredient labeling responds to consumers' demand for transparency.
Consumers and shoppers will be able to compare two products side by side
in the store to see what chemicals they contain and decide which one is
right for them and their families, just like they do with food and
cosmetics.
Parents of children with asthma and allergies will be able to see if the
product has ingredients that could make their conditions worse. Domes-
tic workers and custodians exposed to cleaning products at work all day
will be able to advocate for safer alternatives. More importantly cancer
survivors who are told to avoid certain chemicals will know if they are
present in cleaning products.
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
2018: A10519 - Referred to Environmental Conservation
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None to the State
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect one year after it shall have become a law.
Effective immediately, the addition, amendment and/or repeal of any rule
or regulation necessary for the implementation of this act on its effec-
tive date are authorized to be made and completed on or before such
effective date.
