## Summary

**Would create a voluntary Safer Choice program at the EPA to certify and label products that meet science-based human health and environmental standards.** It would update criteria over time and let manufacturers seek certification while protecting confidential business information. - Manufacturers and applicants would need to disclose ingredients above EPA thresholds, may use the Safer Choice or Design for the Environment labels if approved, and could get EPA technical help. Enforcement can suspend or end label use for violations. - Consumers and purchasers would get a public searchable list of certified products and voluntary labels to identify items meeting stricter health and environmental criteria. - The EPA would set and update procedures, permit qualified independent third-party profilers to support reviews, coordinate with FDA and the Consumer Product Safety Commission, hold at least one annual stakeholder meeting, and maintain the Safer Chemical Ingredients List. *Would authorize $12.0 million each year from fiscal 2028 through 2034 to carry out the program, increasing federal outlays by that amount.*
