Requests that federal government offer legal remedies to victims exposed to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances and incentivize research into effects of those substances.

New Jersey's Assembly Resolution 156 requests that the U.S. Congress pass federal legislation providing legal remedies for individuals harmed by exposure to PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) and funding research into PFAS health effects. PFAS, persistent "forever chemicals" found in drinking water, consumer products, and workplaces, are linked to cancer, reproductive harm, and immune system damage. The resolution specifically supports the proposed federal "PFAS Accountability Act of 2024" and urges Congress to establish a legal pathway for victims to seek redress from manufacturers. This resolution does not create new laws but advocates for federal action to address widespread PFAS exposure risks across communities.
