Bill overview
This bill, the PFAS Exposure Assessment and Documentation Act, aims to address the health concerns related to exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) by establishing a task force within the Department of Defense. It mandates blood testing for former and current military members and their families if a health assessment indicates potential exposure, requires the sharing of health assessment results with the Department of Veterans Affairs, and creates a registry of individuals exposed to PFAS. The bill also directs the DoD to incorporate PFAS exposure into routine health evaluations and to find safer alternatives to PFAS-containing firefighting foam.
