Provides that, on and after January 1, 2030, no person shall sell or offer for sale in the State a new washing machine for residential, commercial, or State use unless the washing machine: (1) contains a microfiber filtration system with a mesh size of not greater than 100 micrometers; and (2) bears a conspicuous label that is visible to the consumer, in the form of a sticker or any other label type, that includes a specified statement. Provides that a person or entity who violates this prohibition shall be liable for a civil penalty not to exceed $10,000 for a first violation and not to exceed $30,000 for each subsequent violation.

House Committee Amendment No. 1
Provides that, on and after January 1, 2030, no person shall sell or offer for sale in this State a new washing machine for residential or State use (rather than for residential, commercial, or State use) unless the washing machine contains a microfiber filtration system that meets certain requirements and bears a specified label.

Provides that, beginning January 1, 2030, no person shall sell or offer for sale a new washing machine for residential or State use unless the washing machine either (i) both contains a microfiber filtration system with a mesh size of not greater than 100 micrometers and bears a conspicuous label that is visible to the consumer, in the form of a sticker or any other label type, that includes a specific statement or (ii) contains a microfiber filtration system that the manufacturer demonstrates will capture fibers 10 micrometers in diameter or smaller and 300 micrometers in length or smaller (rather than unless the washing machine both contains a microfiber filtration system with a mesh size of not greater than 100 micrometers and bears a conspicuous label that is visible to the consumer, in the form of a sticker or any other label type, that includes a specific statement).
