SB6248-S: This bill would require manufacturers of products including BPA (Bisphenol A) to notify retailers of the provisions of the bill no more than 90 days before the restrictions(?), recall their products, and/or face penalties (?) under the Bill's provision if not adhered to. My thoughts: which companies are still manufacturing BPA products in Washington State that would cause the need for this bill, or is this a preventative action on the part of Olympia? If there are companies still producing water bottles, plastics, etc. with BPA in-state, what will this mean for retailers who carry their products? What about students on campus, also? Are some of their favorite, sentimental water bottles from the early throwback 2000s BPA-free?...
Hosting Senators: Keiser, Fairley, Rockefeller, Kohl-Welles, Kline, Ranker
The Bill will be under public hearing on Monday, Feb. 15 at 8:30 a.m. in the House Committee on Environmental Health.
Things to consider brought up in class: Look for how pervasive BPA is...How harmful is it?...What will this cost retailers/manufacturers?...What does BPA do to the environment/people/animals?
