ACD State Advocacy Network

Stay informed on the state-level policies shaping chemical distribution.

Policy Moves Fast. Stay Ahead.

ACD's State Advocacy Network provides a centralized way to monitor legislative activity across all 50 states and understand how emerging policies could affect chemical distribution.

From new compliance requirements to changing product restrictions, state-level decisions can have a direct impact on supply chains, sourcing, operations, and the customers ACD members serve.

2026 Legislative Priorities

What We're Tracking

ACD monitors emerging state policies with the potential to affect chemical distributors. Key areas of focus in 2026 include:

Food Additives

States are considering proposals to restrict, redefine, or require disclosure of certain food additives. As transparency requirements expand and the Make America Healthy Again movement continues to influence policy discussions, these measures could affect sourcing, formulation, labeling, and supply chain responsibilities.

PFAS

States continue advancing legislation related to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), including reporting mandates, product restrictions, and phase-outs. These policies may introduce new compliance obligations and change how PFAS-containing materials are sourced, handled, and managed.

Environmental Policy

From emissions and waste requirements to chemical handling and sustainability standards, environmental policy remains highly active at the state level. New regulatory frameworks could create additional compliance expectations and operational considerations for chemical distribution companies.
