AI Summary
This bill prohibits the sale, manufacture, distribution, and use of firefighting foam containing intentionally added perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in New Jersey, with certain exceptions and a waiver process for oil refineries and petroleum terminals. It requires the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to establish a program to collect and safely dispose of these prohibited PFAS-containing foams from fire departments. The bill also appropriates $250,000 to the DEP to provide initial funding for a grant program to help municipalities cover the costs of replacing the prohibited PFAS-containing foams.
