Premium   Download PDF Now (7 pages)
Congress 118th
Date Requested Dec. 6, 2023
Requested By House Committee on Energy and Commerce
Date Sent March 1, 2024
Description:
The bill would require manufacturers and suppliers of disposable wipes to clearly mark their products with a “do not flush” label and symbol. The FTC would enforce those requirements. Based on the cost of similar provisions, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 2964 would cost the FTC $4 million to issue guidance and to monitor and enforce violations. In addition, CBO estimates that enacting the bill could increase civil penalty collections, which are recorded in the federal budget as revenues, by an insignificant amount.
