Arizona lawmakers are moving to take cosmetics developed with animal testing off the market.
Without discussion, the Senate on Monday gave preliminary approval to legislation that would make it illegal for a manufacturer to knowingly sell or offer to sell any cosmetic if animal testing was used to make it. Violators would be subject to a penalty of $1,000 for the first day of violation and $500 a day for every day thereafter.
But the wording of SB 1031, which now needs a roll call vote, does not mean all those cosmetics will suddenly disappear.
