State Advocacy Network

ACD has launched its new State Advocacy Network—a simple, centralized way to stay on top of legislative activity across all 50 states.

With state policies evolving rapidly, staying informed is critical. New laws can directly impact chemical distribution, supply chains, compliance, and day-to-day operations.

What We’re Tracking in 2026

Each year, ACD monitors the policy areas shaping our industry. This year, we’re focused on:

• Food Additives
  • States are introducing proposals to restrict, redefine, or require disclosure of certain additives. As transparency requirements grow—and the Make America Healthy Again movement gains traction—these policies could influence sourcing, formulation, and supply chain responsibilities.
• PFAS
  • States continue advancing Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) legislation, including reporting mandates, product restrictions, and full phase-outs. These measures may create new compliance challenges and change how PFAS-containing materials are managed.
• Environmental Policy
  • From emissions and waste to chemical handling and sustainability standards, environmental legislation remains highly active. New frameworks could bring expanded regulatory expectations and operational changes for chemical distributoion companies.
