Duster Inhalation Prevention Act
A bill to regulate compressed air dusters to prevent inhalant abuse.
This bill, SB5002, aims to regulate compressed air dusters to prevent the misuse of these products as inhalants. Such misuse can lead to serious health issues and even death. The legislation targets compressed air dusters, which are commonly used to clean sensitive electronics and other surfaces, but have also been misused as a way to inhale chemicals for a quick high.
The bill would affect manufacturers, distributors, and retailers of compressed air dusters, as well as users who might be tempted to misuse these products. By implementing stricter regulations, the bill seeks to reduce the availability and appeal of these dusters for inhalant use, thereby protecting public health.
SB5002 was introduced on July 15, 2026, and was immediately referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation for further review. The committee will examine the bill's details, including its potential impact on businesses and public health, before any further action is taken. As of now, the bill is in its initial stages of the legislative process.
