FPA Signs Coalition Letter in Opposition to Rhode Island’s HB 5673 and SB 16

We are writing to respectfully oppose HB 5673 and SB 16 related to the comprehensive perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances ban. This legislation is overly broad, lacks scientific basis and will have significant unintended consequences and could eventually ban thousands of products from sale and transport of those products into Rhode Island. It would be one of the broadest bans on products containing PFAS in the nation and would have far reaching negative consequences on nearly every sector of the economy including aerospace, autos, alternative energy, healthcare, building and construction, electronics, pharmaceuticals, and agriculture.
