A bill for an act requiring a water treatment plant to conduct a test of sewage sludge to detect the presence of a perfluoroalkyl or polyfluoroalkyl substance.

Summary

The bill mandates that any wastewater treatment plant test its sewage sludge for per‑ and poly‑fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) before the sludge is used on farmland. If PFAS are detected, the plant must send a written notice to the landowner, who can refuse the sludge without penalty. The measure aims to protect agricultural soils and food safety.
