On April 8, 2025, the Governor of New Mexico, Michelle Lujan Grisham, signed HB 212 prohibiting certain PFAS substances in various consumer products. This act may be cited as the "Per- and Poly-Fluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) Protection Act."

The regulation sets the schedule of the prohibition as follows:
