AI Summary

This bill aims to address the presence of n-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) in drinking water in Massachusetts. It requires the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to review the guidelines for chemicals found in drinking water and to establish a "Massachusetts maximum containment level" for NDMA. The DEP must provide reports to the state legislature on the levels of NDMA found in drinking water and treat any levels above the established maximum as a violation of the DEP's drinking water regulations, taking appropriate enforcement action. The bill also mandates the DEP to submit an annual report detailing the number of drinking water examinations and the NDMA levels found.
