Safer Choice Program Authorization Act of 2026

This bill would write into federal law the Environmental Protection Agency's voluntary Safer Choice Program, which certifies products made with chemical ingredients that meet the agency's safety standards, along with the related Design for the Environment label. The EPA would review products, decide which ones may carry the labels, and could use independent third-party reviewers that must have no financial ties to the makers. Companies seeking certification would have to disclose their products' ingredients, with protections for confidential business information. Using the labels without permission or in a misleading way would be prohibited. The EPA would report to Congress each year, keep a public database of certified products, and receive an authorized $6 million per year for fiscal years 2028 through 2034.
