Plain-English Summary

This bill would require the military to publicly disclose information about PFAS chemicals (known as "forever chemicals" because they don't break down in the environment) found at military bases and facilities, and to report on efforts to clean up contamination. The transparency requirements would help communities near military installations understand potential health risks from water and soil contamination, and track the Pentagon's progress in addressing the problem.
