PFAS biomonitoring funding provided, and money appropriated.

This bill allocates $365,000 for fiscal year 2026 and $710,000 for fiscal year 2027 from the environmental fund to support PFAS biomonitoring in eastern Minnesota metropolitan communities. The funds will be transferred from the Pollution Control Agency to the commissioner of health to continue testing for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in human populations. The appropriation becomes available immediately upon final enactment and remains valid until the money is fully spent. This legislation directly impacts public health monitoring efforts in specific eastern metro areas by providing dedicated funding for ongoing chemical exposure studies.
