Safer Choice Program Authorization Act of 2026

This bill would write into law a voluntary Safer Choice Program at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to identify and label products made with chemical ingredients that meet EPA safety standards. The EPA would review products, decide which ones can use the Safer Choice or Design for the Environment labels, and could use approved independent outside reviewers to help evaluate products. Companies seeking certification would have to submit full ingredient information, with protections for confidential business information. Using the labels in a false, misleading, or unauthorized way would be banned. The bill requires annual reports to Congress and a public product database, and authorizes $12 million per year for fiscal years 2028 through 2034.
