What changed in the latest version

156 added · 28 removed

Plain-language change summary

The latest version of Bill SB 2860 includes a clearer definition of "children's jewelry" to ensure that products specifically marketed for children under 12 are adequately identified and regulated. Additionally, the section regarding mercury-containing cosmetics has been removed entirely, along with its penalties, which simplifies the legislation. These changes matter because they focus on protecting children from potentially harmful jewelry while streamlining regulatory measures surrounding cosmetics for better enforcement.
