Oklahoma packaging and PFAS bills

What it would do: Requires the Department of Environmental Quality to purchase equipment to test biosolids for PFAS and establish testing requirements before land application. Prohibits biosolids application to land where crops are grown for human consumption and limits application to the same location no more than once every other year.

What it would do: Authorizes incorporated cities and towns to levy narrowly tailored fees for solid waste management, including a mitigation fee on retail delivery and single-use products, with revenue used for waste collection, recycling, litter prevention, and public education. Modifies the Plastic Container Labeling Act to permit ordinances narrowly tailored to reduce plastic waste and mitigate environmental impacts.

What it would do: Creates the Oklahoma Truth in Environmental Marketing Act, prohibiting persons from making unsubstantiated environmental marketing claims about products or packaging, requiring five-year documentation retention, and authorizing the Attorney General to enforce violations with civil penalties up to $2,500 per violation per day.

What it would do: Requires persons and entities to disclose biosolid use on product labels, signage on properties where biosolids are applied, and in property sale or lease disclosures. Directs the Department of Environmental Quality to maintain a public map of biosolid application sites and notify agritourism businesses within four miles at least 60 days before application.

What it would do: Creates the Oklahoma PFAS-Safe Biosolids and Farmland Protection Act, requiring testing of biosolids and septage for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances before land application and establishing four tiers of restrictions based on PFOA and PFOS concentrations.

What it would do: Prohibits land application, spreading, sale, and distribution of biosolids, sewage sludge, and septage in Oklahoma, with limited exceptions. Requires state agencies to develop remediation plans and funding policies for PFAS contamination and affected agricultural producers.

What it would do: Creates the Oklahoma PFAS Act, exempting certain passive receivers of PFAS from civil liability for environmental releases, requiring the Environmental Quality Board to promulgate rules for PFAS management and establish disposal fees, and requiring authorization for persons disposing of more than 200 pounds of AFFF waste daily.
