This newly adopted legislation amends the state’s Toxic Chemicals in Packaging law that had been enacted in the early 90’s to restrict the use of lead, cadmium, mercury and hexavalent chromium to a sum concentration level of less than 100 parts per million. These provisions remain unaltered in the revised legislative statute.
