BILL NUMBER:S3533 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to regulation of toys, and food and beverage containers containing bisphenol A PURPOSE OF THE BILL: The bill would prohibit the manufacture, distrib- ution and sale of toys, food and beverage containers containing bisphe- nol-A intended for children three years of age or younger. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: The bill amends Article 37 of the Environmental Conservation Law to add toys and food and beverage containers to the current prohibition for the manufacture, distribution, sale or offer for sale of any child care product containing EPA. One year waivers from the ban in food and beverage containers are allowed by DEC if there are no available substitutes for BPA. EPA in toys would be banned after Decem- ber 1, 2012 and in food and beverage containers by December 1, 2013. The bill also prohibits manufacturers from replacing EPA with another chemical compound that is a known human carcinogen, a developmental toxin, an endocrine disruptor or a reproductive toxin; and requires them to use the least toxic alternative for EPA. DEC is required to provide information on least toxic alternatives that meet the above criteria. These provisions also apply to the original law regulating child care products.
