S3331 - Sponsor Memo

 
BILL NUMBER: S3331

SPONSOR: RIVERA
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to the
regulation of ingredients in personal care products

 
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:

The purpose of this bill is to regulate ingredients in personal care
products, to better assess its impact on the environment and on public
health.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 states the legislative findings and intent.

Section 2 amends article 37 of the environmental conservation law by
adding a new title 10 which defines:

-"chemical of concern" as those appearing on any of the lists included
in Department of Environmental Conservation Division of Materials
Management Program Policy on Household Cleansing Product Information
Disclosure;

-"ingredient" as any of the following (a) An intentionally added ingre-
dient present in any quantity in the personal care product;(b) A
nonfunctional byproduct or nonfunctional contaminant, present in a
personal care product in any quantity exceeding 1 part per million of
the content of the product by weight or other amount determined by the
commissioner;(c) A nonfunctional byproduct present in a personal care
product in any quantity not exceeding one part per million of the
content of the product by weight present at or above the practical quan-
tification limit as determined by the commissioner;

-"personal care product" as articles intended to be rubbed, poured,
sprinkled, or sprayed on, introduced into, or otherwise applied to the
human body or any part thereof for cleansing, beautifying, promoting
attractiveness, or altering the appearance, and articles intended for
use as a component of any such articles; except that such term shall not
include soap; and

-"restricted substance" as lead, mercury and related compounds, formal-
dehyde, triclosan, toluene, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, dibu-
tylphthalate, di(2)ethylhexyl phthalate, and isobutyl-, isopropyl,
butyl-,and propyl paraben.

It also states that manufacturers of personal care products shall
furnish to the commissioner for public record information regarding such
products pursuant to rules and regulations promulgated by the commis-
sioner. This information shall include, but not be limited to:

(a) A list naming each ingredient;

(b) such list shall disclose that the ingredient is published as a chem-
ical of concern as identified in this chapter, including specification
of which list or lists; and

(c)investigations concerning the effects on human health and the envi-
ronment of such product or such ingredients.  It also allows the commis-
sioner, in consultation with the commissioner of health to periodically
review the list of chemicals of concern to identify or remove chemicals
from such list; prohibits the sale of personal care products containing
restricted substances after a period; sets penalties for violations; but
exempts very small businesses from such penalties.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

There are thousands of chemicals in personal care, household cleaning,
and other consumer products, many of which have never been fully tested
for potential impacts on human health or the environment. This had led
national and international organizations to develop lists of chemicals
of concern and require their disclosure, such as the New York State
Department of Environmental Conservation's Household Cleaning Product
Ingredient Disclosure Program (HCPIDP).  /sk While federal law requires
personal care product labels to list certain intentionally added ingre-
dients, information concerning potential health effects is not disclosed
or otherwise widely available and certain categories of chemical ingre-
dients are exempt from labeling requirements.

Personal care products can contain chemicals associated with asthma,
allergies, hormone disruption, neurodevelopmental problems, infertility,
even cancer. Americans use an average of 10 personal care products Every
day. Exposure to personal care products typically begins in infancy,
with products such as baby shampoo and diaper cream, and continues
throughout their lifespan.

New York State is not alone in seeking to promote greater transparency
and safety with personal care products. European Union countries prohib-
it (with few exceptions) substances classified as carcinogenic, mutagen-
ic, or toxic for reproduction in cosmetic products. The Canadian govern-
ment regularly updates a Cosmetic Ingredient Hotlist that includes
hundreds of chemicals and contaminants prohibited and restricted from
cosmetics, such as formaldehyde, triclosan, selenium, nitrosamines, and
1,4-dioxane. Furthermore, over 40 countries including Japan, Cambodia,
and Vietnam, have stricter restrictions on chemicals in personal care
products than does the United States.

Therefore, the legislature finds and declares that federal disclosure
requirements are not sufficient to educate and protect consumers, and
that it shall be the policy of the state to require the personal care
product industry to more fully disclose ingredients and identify ingre-
dients published as chemicals of concern on lists identified by the
commissioner such as the HCPIDP or other national or international
lists.

 AN ACT to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation  to  the
   regulation of ingredients in personal care products

   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. Legislative findings and intent.  There  are  thousands  of
 chemicals  used in personal care, household cleaning, and other consumer
 products, many of which have  never  been  fully  tested  for  potential
 impacts  on  human  health or the environment. This has led national and
 international organizations to develop lists of  chemicals  of  concern,
 including  the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation's
 Household Cleaning Product Ingredient Disclosure Program (HCPIDP). While
 federal law requires personal care product labels to list certain inten-
 tionally added  ingredients,  information  concerning  potential  health
 effects  is  not  widely  available  and  certain categories of chemical
 ingredients are exempt from labeling requirements. Furthermore, over  40
 countries,  including  countries in the European Union, Japan, Cambodia,
 and Vietnam, have stricter restrictions on chemicals  in  personal  care
 products  than does the United States.  Therefore, the legislature finds
 and declares that federal  disclosure  requirements  are  inadequate  to
 educate  and  protect  consumers, and that it shall be the policy of the
 state to require the  personal  care  product  industry  to  more  fully
 disclose  ingredients and identify ingredients published as chemicals of
 concern on lists identified by the commissioner such as  the  HCPIDP  or
 other national or international lists.
   §  2.  Article  37 of the environmental conservation law is amended by
 adding a new title 10 to read as follows:

 AN ACT to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation  to  the
   regulation of ingredients in personal care products and cosmetics
 
   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1.Short title. This act shall be known and may be cited as the
 "personal care and cosmetics act".
   § 2. Legislative findings and intent. There are thousands of chemicals
 used in personal care, household cleaning, and other consumer  products,
 many  of  which  have  never  been fully tested for potential impacts on
 human health or the environment.   Moreover,  regarding  the  safety  of
 using personal care products, it is most concerning that cosmetics regu-
 lation  in  the  United  States has not been significantly updated since
 1938.  This has led state national, and international  organizations  to
 develop  lists of chemicals of concern, including New York State's Toxic
 Chemicals in children's products and others. While federal law  requires
 personal  care product labels to list certain intentionally added ingre-
 dients, information concerning potential health effects  is  not  widely
 available and certain categories of chemical ingredients are exempt from
 labeling  requirements.  Furthermore, over 40 countries, including coun-

S3331B (ACTIVE) - Sponsor Memo

 
BILL NUMBER: S3331B

SPONSOR: RIVERA
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to the
regulation of ingredients in personal care products and cosmetics

 
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:

The purpose of this bill is to regulate ingredients in personal care
products, to better assess its impact on the environment and on public
health.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 states that this act shall be known as the "safe personal care
and cosmetics act."

Section 2 states the legislative findings and intent and amends article
37 of the environmental conservation law by adding a new title 10 which
defines:

*"chemical of concern" means any chemicals known to cause harm as clas-
sified, included, referenced, or identified in certain jurisdictions
codes and asthmagens as designated by the commissioner in consultation
with the commissioner of health.

*"ingredient" as any of the following (a) An intentionally added ingre-
dient present in any quantity in the personal care product; or (b) A
nonfunctional byproduct or nonfunctional contaminant present in a
personal care product, in any quantity, provided such element or
compound is a chemical of concern;

*"manufacturer" as any person, firm, association, partnership, limited
liability company, or corporation which produces, prepares, formulates,
or compounds a personal care product;

*"personal care product" as articles intended to be rubbed, poured,
sprinkled, or sprayed on, introduced into, or otherwise applied to the
human body or any part thereof for cleansing, beautifying, promoting
attractiveness, or altering the appearance, and articles intended for
use as a component of any such articles; except that such term shall not
include soap; and

*"practical quantification limit" is the lowest level that can be reli-
ably achieved within predetermined limits of precision and accuracy
during routine laboratory operating conditions

*"restricted substance" as lead, lead compounds, or mercury and related
compounds, formaldehyde, paraformaldehyde, triclosan, toluene, per- and
polyfluoroalkyl substances, dibutyl phthalate, di(2)ethylhexyl phtha-
late, diethyl phthalate, butyl benzyl, phthalate, isobutyl-, isopropyl-,
butyl-, methyl-, propylparaben, methylene glycol, oxybenzone, Quaterni-
um-15, m-Phenylenediamine and its salts, and o-Phenylenediamine and its
salts.

*"soap" as articles comprised entirely of an alkali salt of fatty acids
where the detergent properties of the article are due to the alkali-fat-
ty acid compounds, and the article shall be labeled, sold, and repres-
ented only as soap

It also states that manufacturers of personal care products shall
furnish to the commissioner for public record information regarding such
products pursuant to rules and regulations promulgated by the commis-
sioner. This information shall include, but not be limited to:

(a) A list naming each ingredient;

(b) each ingredient in the product that is a chemical of concern.

Additionally it adds new sections including the promulgation of lists, a
small business exemption, and penalties.

Section 3 establishes a severability clause.

Section 4 establishes the effective date.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

There are thousands of chemicals in personal care, household cleaning,
and other consumer products, many of which have never been fully tested
for potential impacts on human health or the environment. This had led
national and international organizations to develop lists of chemicals
of concern and require their disclosure, such as the New York State
Department of Environmental Conservation's Household Cleaning Product
Ingredient Disclosure Program (HCPIDP). While federal law requires
personal care product labels to list certain intentionally added ingre-
dients, information concerning potential health effects is not disclosed
or otherwise widely available and certain categories of chemical ingre-
dients are exempt from labeling requirements.

Personal care products can contain chemicals associated with asthma,
allergies, hormone disruption, neurodevelopmental problems, infertility,
even cancer. Americans use an average of 10 personal care products Every
day. Exposure to personal care products typically begins in infancy,
with products such as baby shampoo and diaper cream, and continues
throughout their lifespan.

New York State is not alone in seeking to promote greater transparency
and safety with personal care products. European Union countries prohib-
it (with few exceptions) substances classified as carcinogenic, mutagen-
ic, or toxic for reproduction in cosmetic products. The Canadian govern-
ment regularly updates a Cosmetic Ingredient Hotlist that includes
hundreds of chemicals and contaminants prohibited and restricted from
cosmetics, such as formaldehyde, triclosan, selenium, nitrosamines, and
1,4-dioxane. Furthermore, over 40 countries including Japan, Cambodia,
and Vietnam, have stricter restrictions on chemicals in personal care
products than does the United States.

Therefore, the legislature finds and declares that federal disclosure
requirements are not sufficient to educate and protect consumers, and
that it shall be the policy of the state to require the personal care
product industry to more fully disclose ingredients and identify ingre-
dients published as chemicals of concern on lists identified by the
commissioner such as the HCPIDP or other national or international
lists.

   Section  1.  Short  title. This act shall be known and may be cited as
 the "safe personal care and cosmetics act".
   § 2. Legislative findings and intent. There are thousands of chemicals
 used in personal care, household cleaning, and other consumer  products,
 many  of  which  have  never  been fully tested for potential impacts on
 human health or the environment.   Moreover,  regarding  the  safety  of
 using personal care products, it is most concerning that cosmetics regu-
 lation  in  the  United  States has not been significantly updated since
 1938.  This has led state national, and international  organizations  to
 develop  lists of chemicals of concern, including New York State's Toxic
 Chemicals in children's products and others. While federal law  requires
 personal  care product labels to list certain intentionally added ingre-
 dients, information concerning potential health effects  is  not  widely
 available and certain categories of chemical ingredients are exempt from
 labeling  requirements.  Furthermore, over 40 countries, including coun-
 tries in the European Union, Japan, Cambodia, and Vietnam, have stricter
