To prohibit, as a banned hazardous substance, certain household dishwashing detergent containing phosphorus.

This bill would ban the sale of household dishwashing detergents that contain phosphorus by classifying them as hazardous substances. The goal of this measure is to protect water quality, as phosphorus from detergents can leak into lakes and rivers, fueling the growth of harmful algal blooms that deplete oxygen and kill aquatic life. For everyday citizens, this would mean that only phosphate-free dishwashing products would be available for purchase, helping to reduce the environmental footprint of routine household chores.
