Description | Passed in 2019, the Safer Products for Washington law established a process where Ecology designates priority chemicals, identifies products that contain those chemicals, determines needed regulatory actions, and adopts rules to implement regulatory actions. Before Ecology can restrict the use of a chemical in an identified consumer product, the law requires that safer alternatives are feasible and available. This focus sheet provides an update on Ecology's 2023 accomplishments and what to expect next. |
