Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances

Summary

The bill creates a new law that gradually prohibits aqueous film‑forming foam (firefighting foam with PFAS chemicals), first limiting it to emergencies, then banning its sale and distribution, and finally banning possession and use statewide, with exemptions for airports, military needs, and emergency situations lacking alternatives. It also requires owners to inventory and report foam, submit disposal plans, and forces large wastewater facilities to test for PFAS quarterly. The Department of Environmental Protection oversees compliance and can levy civil penalties.
