Bill Summary
This bill creates a civil action for certain PFAS contamination.
AI Summary
This bill creates a civil action for certain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contamination. The bill defines key terms related to PFAS, such as "fully fluorinated carbon atom," "PFAS," and "PFAS facility." It establishes strict liability for owners or operators of PFAS facilities where PFAS contamination of groundwater or surface water exceeds certain thresholds, allowing the state to recover costs for containment, cleanup, and remediation. The bill also provides property owners with a cause of action to obtain safe drinking water, either through point-of-entry treatment systems or connection to a public water system, if their drinking water is contaminated by PFAS from a nearby PFAS facility.
