Bill Summary

For legislation to protect the Commonwealth from toxic chemicals. Environment, Natural Resources and Agriculture.

AI Summary

This bill aims to protect the Commonwealth from toxic chemicals by requiring the commissioner of the Department of Environmental Protection to include per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) under the definition of "Toxic or Hazardous Substance" as defined under the state's environmental regulations. This would subject PFAS, a group of synthetic chemicals, to the same regulatory framework as other toxic or hazardous substances, allowing for increased monitoring and potential remediation efforts to address their presence in the environment.
