AB281,1,3
1An Act to amend 100.28 (2) (a) and (b) and 100.28 (2m) (a) and (b) of the statutes;
2relating to: the restriction on the amount of phosphorus in certain cleaning
3agents.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law prohibits the sale of cleaning products, other than industrial
cleaning products, that contain more than specified amounts of phosphorus. The
limit for most cleaning products is 0.5 percent phosphorus by weight. The limit for
machine dishwashing products is 8.7 percent phosphorus by weight.
This bill reduces the limit on the amount of phosphorus in machine
dishwashing products for household use to 0.5 percent by weight. The bill does not
change the limit for nonhousehold machine dishwashing products.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
