Bill Summary

Requires DEP to perform certain assessments concerning regulation of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances.

AI Summary

This bill requires the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to conduct an assessment every five years of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) that are not currently regulated under state or federal law, to determine if a maximum contaminant level or other drinking water standard should be established for one or more PFAS. The bill also requires the DEP to assess whether current and proposed PFAS maximum contaminant levels adequately protect the health of children, who have a lower average body weight and higher ratio of drinking water intake by weight compared to adults. The DEP must submit a written report of its findings to the Governor and Legislature and publish the report on its website.
