California bill AB 1319, the Toxin-Free Infants and Toddlers Act, has been signed by the Governor and chaptered by the Secretary of State into the 2011 Statutes. 

On and after July 1, 2013, no person shall manufacture, sell or distribute in commerce any bottle or cup that contains bisphenol A at a detectable level above 0.1 parts per billion (ppb), if the bottle or cup is designed or intended to be filled with any liquid, food or beverage intended primarily for consumption from that bottle or cup by children three years of age or younger.
