Bill overview
This bill would establish a workgroup to study and recommend strategies for protecting people and the environment from exposure to toxic heavy metals released during wildfires. The workgroup, comprised of state agencies and experts, would develop best practices for communities, first responders, and cleanup crews. It would also research ways to mitigate and remediate heavy metal contamination after fires, with a report due to the legislature within three years of the workgroup’s formation.
