To protect Massachusetts public health from PFAS

Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill establishes a PFAS Remediation Trust Fund to address contamination from these chemicals in water, soil, and other media, prioritizing environmental justice communities. It also requires updated groundwater and surface water discharge permits for industrial facilities to monitor and manage PFAS, and phases out the use of sludge without specific approval. Additionally, the bill bans PFAS in food packaging and certain consumer products, mandates public awareness campaigns, and restricts the use of PFAS-containing firefighting foam.
