S4057 SEN Statement 6/8/26

SENATE ENVIRONMENT AND ENERGY COMMITTEE

STATEMENT TO

SENATE, No.
4057

STATE
OF NEW JERSEY

DATED:
�JUNE 8,
2026

����� The Senate Environment and Energy Committee reports
favorably Senate Bill No. 4057.

�����
This
bill would clarify that the definition of �carpet� in the �Protecting Against
Forever Chemicals Act,� P.L.2025, c.202 (C.56:3-53 et al.) does not include any
rug or fabric intended solely for use inside aircraft, automobiles, light duty
trucks, vans, buses, or any other vehicle.� The bill would thus exempt those
kinds of rugs and fabrics from the provisions of the �Protecting Against
Forever Chemicals Act.�
