Latest changes
- November 10, 2026 Register
Register: Register checked through November 10, 2026. No new PFAS law was enacted in the window. Washington published draft restrictions on November 3 for PFAS in architectural paints, artificial turf, cookware, firefighter gear, floor waxes and hard surface sealers, with comments due December 18. Oregon proposed its cosmetics rules with a 0.001 ppm PFAS limit, California proposed adding PFBA, PFHxA and PFDA to the Proposition 65 list, Florida revised its draft AFFF disposal rule, and Maine set an April 1, 2027 deadline for unavoidable use proposals under its 2032 ban. The EU's defence omnibus was published November 3 and lets member states exempt defence uses from REACH restrictions from November 23. The sweep also caught laws the register had missed: an Illinois law barring 13 listed PFAS in cosmetics from July 1, 2028, Louisiana's 2026 amendment to its foam law, and New Zealand's bans on PFOS, PFOA and PFHxS. The October 21 entry on the defence omnibus overstated its reach into the POPs Regulation and has been corrected. The federal page and the bill tracker now also list 35 PFAS bills pending in Congress, including food packaging and cosmetics bans and drinking water and cleanup liability bills; only the House defense bill has passed a chamber. The register holds 375 provisions. - November 6, 2026 Rule
Florida: DEP posted a revised draft of its AFFF storage and disposal rule (Rule 62-701.520(6), F.A.C.). It gives storage sites 180 days after the rule takes effect to meet the containment standard, leaves out fixed tanks and piping, and lets holders send AFFF out of state for lawful use. No proposed rule has been published. - November 5, 2026 Update
New Mexico: NMED updated the legislature's Radioactive and Hazardous Materials Committee on its HJM 3 review of the PFAS Protection Act's exemptions. It reported no findings yet; final reports are due August 1, 2027. Its slides list goals for the 2027 session: reporting for exempt products, a faster phase-out, an end date for exemptions and explicit authority to collect fees. - November 5, 2026 Update
Maine: DEP posted its timeline for currently unavoidable use proposals for the 2032 ban on all other products: it accepts proposals from January 1, 2027, with an April 1, 2027 deadline for review in spring 2027 and a rulemaking starting in summer 2027. It does not plan CUU rulemaking in 2026. - November 4, 2026 Update
United Kingdom: The Joint Committee on Statutory Instruments considered the draft Persistent Organic Pollutants (Amendment) Regulations 2026 and did not draw them to the special attention of either House. The Lords Grand Committee debate remains provisionally scheduled for November 17. - November 3, 2026 Rule
Washington: Ecology published draft Cycle 2 regulatory determinations under Safer Products for Washington. They would restrict PFAS in most architectural paints, artificial turf, cookware and kitchen supplies, firefighter gear, floor waxes and polishes, and hard surface sealers. Comments close December 18, 2026. - November 3, 2026 Update
European Union: Regulation (EU) 2026/2382, the defence readiness omnibus, was published in the Official Journal and enters into force on November 23, 2026. From then, member states may allow exemptions from REACH, including its PFHxA and firefighting foam restrictions, where necessary in the interests of defence. - November 2, 2026 Register
Register: Register checked through November 2, 2026. No new PFAS law was enacted. Florida's environment department closed comments on October 30 on its draft rule for storing and disposing of AFFF, and in Britain a Lords committee considered the draft long-chain PFCA regulations on October 27 and made no comment, with a Lords debate set for November 17. The sweep also caught earlier items the register had missed. Pennsylvania's House passed HB 2145 on June 8; it would ban PFAS in cosmetics, dental floss, children's products and menstrual products from 2028 and sits in a Senate committee. Australia adds PFHpS, PFNS and PFDS to its prohibited list on January 1, 2027 and limits shorter-chain firefighting foams to emergencies from July 1, 2027. New Zealand bans long-chain PFCAs from December 16, 2026. New Hampshire's rules for its 2027 ban took effect July 18, and Colorado has required facilities and fire departments that store or use PFAS foam to register since 2021. New Mexico's December 2 and January 1 deadlines are now on the calendar. The register holds 369 provisions.

How this register works
Every row comes from the statute, session law, agency rule or official notice that creates it, and each source is linked beside the date. Dates are the ones in the current law; when an amendment moved a date, the change log records the old and new dates. Entries confirmed only on a secondary source carry a mark saying so. The whole register, 375 provisions, was last checked on November 10, 2026. Read the method, the definitions behind terms like intentionally added and total organic fluorine, or request the dataset.

Common questions
Which states ban PFAS in cookware?
Seven states ban intentionally added PFAS in cookware. In force: Minnesota (since January 1, 2025); Colorado and Maine (since January 1, 2026). Scheduled: New Mexico and Rhode Island (January 1, 2027); Connecticut (January 1, 2028); Vermont (July 1, 2028). Other duties apply in California (labeling or disclosure, since January 1, 2023), New Jersey (labeling or disclosure, from January 12, 2028) and Washington (reporting, since January 1, 2026).
Which states ban PFAS in all products?
Three states ban intentionally added PFAS in all products. Scheduled: Maine, Minnesota and New Mexico (January 1, 2032).
Is there a federal ban on PFAS in products?
There is no federal ban on PFAS in consumer products. Since October 1, 2026, the Defense Department may not buy firefighting foam with detectable PFAS or firefighter gear that fails the NFPA 1970 restricted substances list. EPA's one-time TSCA reporting window opens by January 31, 2027. The 2024 drinking water limits remain in force while EPA proposes to rescind four of them, and PFOA and PFOS remain CERCLA hazardous substances after the D.C. Circuit upheld the listing on August 18, 2026. Of the PFAS bills pending in Congress, only the House-passed defense bill has cleared a chamber, and its PFAS sections cover cleanup and reporting.
When is the TSCA PFAS reporting deadline?
No submission window is open yet. Under EPA's April 13, 2026 final rule, the six-month window opens January 31, 2027, or 60 days after EPA's pending revisions rule takes effect if that comes first. Small businesses reporting only as article importers get twelve months. EPA proposed in November 2025 to exempt imported articles, but that change is not final.
