Plain-English Summary

The legislation would restrict or eliminate the use of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), commonly known as "forever chemicals," in industrial and consumer products to protect drinking water and the environment. The bill would affect manufacturers, water utilities, and consumers by requiring companies to phase out these persistent chemicals that accumulate in the body and environment over time. Environmental groups and public health advocates support such measures because PFAS contamination has been found in water supplies across the country and linked to health concerns.
