SHB 1213 — Concerning compliance with labeling requirements for wipes.

What this bill does

Eliminates the 2023 deadline for products subject to the labeling requirements of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) to also meet labeling requirements for nonflushable nonwoven disposable wipes, and instead institutes a process whereby a FIFRA-regulated wipe must achieve compliance with labeling requirements by the later of 2026 or 24 months after a product receives label approval under FIFRA from the United States Environmental Protection Agency. Clarifies that nonflushable nonwoven disposable wipes that were manufactured prior to July 1, 2022, may be sold so long as the product is labeled consistent with requirements.
