AI Summary
This bill establishes PFAS management zones in Wisconsin to identify areas with elevated levels of PFOA and PFOS in drinking water sources. It directs the Department of Natural Resources to promulgate emergency rules for testing water systems and biosolids within these zones, and to use the information gathered to inform future rulemaking and actions to address PFAS contamination statewide. The bill also prioritizes funding for safe drinking water projects in PFAS management zones, expands eligibility for the Well Compensation Program, and creates an advisory committee to assist the department in developing economically and technically feasible statewide PFAS standards.
