An Act relative to certain manufactured chemicals known as PFAS

This bill directs the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection to create rules for managing the collection, storage, treatment, and disposal of PFAS chemicals to protect public health and the environment. It also requires the state water board to provide financial assistance to public water systems that report PFAS contamination levels exceeding established safety limits. By amending existing environmental laws, the legislation aims to strengthen regulatory oversight and support communities affected by these manufactured chemicals.
