Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
The Safer Choice Program Authorization Act of 2026 formally establishes and authorizes the Environmental Protection Agency's Safer Choice Program, a voluntary initiative that identifies and promotes consumer products made with safer chemical ingredients. The program affects manufacturers, retailers, consumers, and institutional purchasers by providing clear labeling and certification for products that meet rigorous safety standards for human health and environmental impact while maintaining product performance. The legislation allows the EPA to use qualified third-party evaluators to assess products and ingredients, requires full disclosure of product ingredients subject to confidentiality protections, and establishes procedures for label use and enforcement against unauthorized labeling. The bill authorizes $12 million annually for the program from fiscal year 2028 through 2034 and requires the EPA to submit annual reports to Congress and maintain a public database of certified products. The program remains voluntary for manufacturers and preserves the market-based, nonregulatory approach that has supported innovation in safer chemistry over the past decade.
