Bill overview
California Assembly Bill 794 creates emergency regulations to clarify the California State Water Resources Control Board’s authority to adopt drinking water standards. Specifically, it allows the board to utilize federal regulations in effect as of January 19, 2025, even if those regulations have since been modified or repealed. The bill also mandates the development of a primary drinking water standard for perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and establishes a timeline for this process, while permitting more stringent monitoring requirements than the federal regulations.
