C. The department may by rule identify products by category or use that may not be
sold, offered for sale or distributed for sale in this State if they contain intentionally
added PFAS. The department shall prioritize the prohibition of the sale of product
categories that, in the department's judgment, are most likely to cause contamination
of the State's land or water resources if they contain intentionally added PFAS.
Products in which the use of PFAS is a currently unavoidable use as determined by the
department may be exempted by the department by rule. The department may not
prohibit by rule pursuant to this paragraph the sale, offer for sale or resale distribution
for sale of used products in used condition.
Rules adopted pursuant to this paragraph are major substantive rules as defined in Title
5, chapter 375, subchapter 2‑A.

for sale in this State any product that contains intentionally added PFAS that is not
already prohibited from sale, offer for sale or distribution for sale pursuant to paragraph
A, B, B-1, B-2 or C, unless the department has determined by rule in accordance with
paragraph F that the use of PFAS in the product is a currently unavoidable use. The
department may specify specific products or product categories in which it has
determined the use of PFAS is a currently unavoidable use. This prohibition does not
apply to the sale or resale of used products.

intentionally added PFAS but that are sold, offered for sale or distributed for sale in a

sale or distributed for sale for the use for which it is listed pursuant to that program.
