Permits fire departments to use certain Class B firefighting foam for one year after prohibition takes effect.

Summary

The bill postpones the prohibition on fire departments using Class B foam with intentionally added PFAS until January 1, 2027, giving them a one‑year grace period after the general ban takes effect. It also creates limited exemptions for fixed‑foam systems, oil refineries, and a waiver process, and requires reporting and containment measures for any continued PFAS use. The aim is to protect public health while allowing essential fire‑suppression operations time to switch to PFAS‑free alternatives.
