Bill overview
This bill aims to protect public drinking water by requiring the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to establish health-based limits for certain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). PFAS are man-made chemicals found in many products and can pose risks to human health. The bill directs the EPA to create a national drinking water regulation and set maximum contaminant levels for these substances, with a focus on supporting smaller water systems in meeting these standards.
