## Summary

**Would establish a voluntary Safer Choice Program at the EPA to identify and promote products with safer chemical ingredients.** It would set science-based standards, require ingredient disclosure for certified products, set rules for independent third-party profilers, and require annual public reporting and a searchable product database. - Families and consumers would see voluntary Safer Choice or Design for the Environment labels and a public database to compare certified products and their ingredient information. - Manufacturers could apply for voluntary certification, get EPA technical assistance and labeling guidance, and face corrective actions if they misuse the agency marks. - Independent third-party profilers would be vetted for independence and conflict-of-interest rules and could help with technical evaluations but could not be paid based on review outcomes. *Would authorize $6.0 million per year for fiscal years 2028–2034 to carry out the program.*
