2021 AB 100 – Lead in Faucets – Oppose Unless Amended

The new 1 μg maximum allowable level of lead requirements outlined in the bill are based on the standard NSF 61 2020. As promised during our prior collaborative discussions with your office and the sponsors regarding AB 2060, PMI advocated successfully for an expedited publication of NSF 61 2020 that occurred in August 2020. PMI’s actions clearly demonstrate that industry wants to achieve the objectives of AB 100. However, just like with NSF 61 2020 that allows for manufacturers to have until January 1, 2024 to certify all endpoint devices that provide drinking water to the new lead requirements in the standard, AB 100 needs to be revised accordingly to provide sufficient time for all those involved in the supply chain to get certified product to the marketplace.

Say NO to the PRO Act

The PRO Act (H.R. 2474 and S.B.1306) attempts to implement radical labor policies and would enact harmful policy changes that would eliminate right-to-work protections in 27 states, violate employees’ privacy, upend the business community and devastate the economy especially in a COVID-19 economic recovery.
