What it does
The bill gives money to the EPA's Safer Choice Program. This program tests products to see if they are safer. Companies can ask the EPA to test their products. Products that pass get a special label. The bill gives the program $12 million each year until 2034.
Who it affects
People who buy products can see which ones are safer. Companies that make safer products can get a label to help sell them.
One thing to notice
Companies must share what is in their products so the EPA can check them. The program is voluntary, so companies choose whether to join.
