Olympia, WA—Yesterday, the Washington State House of Representatives passed a bill to address toxic PFAS “forever chemicals” in products such as rain coats, apparel, and firefighter personal protective equipment.
The bill, HB 1694, sponsored by Rep. Liz Berry (D-Seattle) passed the House with a bipartisan vote of 62-36. The bill speeds up the timeline for restricting PFAS in products and makes improvements to the state’s landmark Safer Products for Washington law. The bill now moves to the Senate for possible action.
