 S. 9268--A 2

 1 2. No person shall sell or offer for sale in this state anti-fogging
 2 sprays or wipes containing perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances
 3 as intentionally added chemicals or that contain perfluoroalkyl and
 4 polyfluoroalkyl substances at or above a level that the department shall
 5 establish in regulation.
 6 3. No person that sells or offers for sale any anti-fogging sprays or
 7 wipes shall be held in violation of this section if they can show that
 8 they relied in good faith on the written assurance of the manufacturer
 9 of such product that such product met the requirements of this section.
 10 Such written assurance shall take the form of a certificate of compli-
 11 ance stating that such product is in compliance with the requirements
 12 of this section. The certificate of compliance shall be signed by an
 13 authorized official of the manufacturer.
