Changes in Utah May Affect Your Law Label

Utah Pauses Online Labeling Requirements: How It Will Affect Your Law Label

In early February, a bill called S.B. 231 was introduced in the Utah legislature that would remove the overarching requirements supporting the state's bedding, furniture, and quilted clothing program. Shortly thereafter in early March, Utah's online visibility requirements were paused through a Change in Proposed Rule.

As a result, S.B. 231 hasn't moved forward and has been returned to the rules committee to address the online visibility element. Utah's session has concluded. Without a special session being called, we don't expect S.B. 231 to move forward—at least not in the near future.

For now, the focus is on the Change in Proposed Rule for Utah's online visibility requirements. We expect Utah to make this public soon, at which point they may accept comments for 30 days. Any commentary the state receives would go under review before a final decision is made.

We put together a guide on Utah's pause of their online visibility requirements, including how to stay compliant in the state's evolving regulatory landscape.

ICPHSO 2025 Recap

That's a wrap! The GRS team just got back from ICPHSO's 2025 Annual Meeting and Training Symposium Information in Orlando, FL. Here are a few quick takeaways that will shape the product safety community this year:

• CSPC e-filing continues to be top of mind for folks. If you haven't identified a partner or your internal capacity for meeting these requirements, now is a good time to start! Importers interested in joining the voluntary stage should email eFilingSupport@cpsc.gov with the following information:

  • Company Name
  • Initial Business Account Administrator’s Name
  • Initial Business Account Administrator’s Email
  • Importer of Record Number(s)
  • Broker Filer Code(s)
  • Type of Products Imported

• Other big topics of conversation were Prop 65, TSCA reporting requirements, the convergence of compliance and sustainability, and ESG and its impact on the global landscape. This was a truly a great year for panel discussions!
• Don't underestimate the value of coming together as a community through conferencing. Yes, it's about the informative sessions and keynotes—but it's also about connection, sharing stories and experiences, and building relationships that will also contribute to yours and your company's success.

Important Compliance Dates

Mark your calendar for these upcoming events and important compliance deadlines.

May License Renewals

On March 20, GRS' License Management subscribers will be invoiced for May license renewals. As a reminder, this timeline gives the GRS team ample time to gather and submit the required information for renewals and help our customers avoid lapsed licensing, which can lead to costly fines and off-sales.

CA Renewals

On March 24, GRS will add late fees to any unpaid California renewals that have an expiration date of March 31, 2025. If your CA license expired on December 31, 2024 and you have not yet renewed, an additional late fee will be applied.

CT Renewals

GRS is currently working through Connecticut renewals, which expire on April 30. Please make sure you pay GRS invoices as they are received so our team can keep you ahead of lapsed licensing. Renewals are processed in the order the state receives them, so the quicker you send payment, the quicker CT will renew your license.
