Prioritizing PFAS-Free Cleaning Products Act
This bill requires the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to prioritize purchasing cleaning products certified as PFAS-free by the Safer Choice program or equivalent third-party certifications. It directly affects the DoD, which buys cleaning supplies for military facilities nationwide. The key mechanism mandates that the Secretary of Defense only procure such certified products "to the maximum extent practicable," shifting procurement toward verified safer alternatives. The policy change focuses on updating DoD purchasing practices without creating new product standards.
