Directs DEP to use funds from perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances contamination settlement with 3M Company for purchase of equipment to remediate perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances contamination.
This bill directs New Jersey's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to use funds from a settlement with 3M Company to address PFAS contamination. It creates a dedicated "PFAS Settlement Remediation Fund" to pay for water filtration systems, equipment, and remediation efforts. The fund specifically covers DEP-purchased equipment and reimburses local governments (counties, municipalities) for their eligible PFAS cleanup costs. All spending must follow clear reimbursement processes, with annual reports tracking how funds are used for drinking water filtration or broader PFAS remediation.
