Requires DEP to perform certain assessments concerning regulation of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances.
This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to conduct every five years a review of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in drinking water that are not currently regulated under state or federal law. It specifically mandates two assessments: one to determine if new safety standards are needed for unregulated PFAS, and another to evaluate whether existing PFAS standards adequately protect children, who may be more vulnerable due to their body size and higher water intake relative to weight. The DEP must then submit written reports of these findings to the Governor, the Legislature, and publish them online for public access. This directly affects the DEP's regulatory process and aims to inform future drinking water safety policies.
