Bill overview
This bill, the Water Systems PFAS Liability Protection Act, aims to shield certain water and wastewater management entities from liability under CERCLA for releases of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). It specifically protects public water systems, treatment works, municipalities with stormwater permits, and wholesale water agencies, provided they handle PFAS in accordance with existing laws. However, the exemption does not apply if the entity acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct regarding the PFAS.
