Would ban making, selling, and using most new asbestos products nationwide.
This bill would stop the making, using, and selling of most new asbestos and products that contain it across the country. Right now, federal law does not fully ban these actions. The bill aims to keep people safe from asbestos, with only a few exceptions for specific industries and national security needs.
Today, federal law does not ban the making, using, or selling of asbestos. This bill would change that by putting a full ban in place, starting right away if signed into law. It includes very limited exceptions for national security and allows certain chemical plants to keep using asbestos until January 1, 2030. The bill also makes clear that asbestos already in buildings or being thrown away would not be affected by the ban.
