Note to Reader
The Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (more commonly referred to as Proposition 65) was a voters’ initiative passed in November 1986, and became effective on January 1, 1987. Proposition 65 requires the Governor to publish, and update at least annually, a list of chemicals that are known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity. For the chemicals that are listed, "clear and reasonable" warnings are required 12 months from the effective date of listing and must be given prior to exposing any individual to the listed chemical (Health and Safety Code Section 25249.6). Warning regulations were adopted in Section 12601 of Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations to clarify and/or interpret the provisions of the statute. These regulations are frequently requested from the regulated community and as a service are being made available here. A complete set of the regulations governing the implementation of Proposition 65 are available for purchase from Barclays Official California Code of Regulations by calling (800) 888-3600 or writing to 50 California Street, Nineteenth Floor, San Francisco, California 94111. Please request Division 2 of Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations, beginning with Section 12000 and ending with Section 14000.
