In the finer print the bill would also ban the manufacturing and sale of certain types of fluorescent light bulbs, Brinker said.LED bulbs are already much more efficient than linear fluorescent bulbs, Brinker said. When the old lights break they leak toxic mercury, to which retail, janitorial and waste workers are exposed, Brinker said.— match those in place by California and Vermont, Brinker said. Legislators in other states like Nevada and New Mexico are considering similar measures.
For example, the measure would apply new standards to gas fireplaces, prohibiting those that continuously burn a pilot light for more than a week after its last use. It would also require new gas fireplaces to have venting systems.
