Bill > SB00906

This bill authorizes the State Bond Commission to issue up to $300,000 in state bonds to help the town of Franklin address well contamination. Specifically, the bonds will provide a grant to the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection to remediate wells contaminated with PFAS (perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances) at the Franklin Town Hall and other chemical contamination at the Franklin Volunteer Fire Department. PFAS are a group of human-made chemicals commonly used in industrial and consumer products that have been linked to potential health risks. The bill allows the state to provide financial assistance to the town to investigate and potentially clean up these contaminated water sources, ensuring safe drinking water for local residents and emergency personnel. The bonds will be issued in accordance with existing state financial regulations under section 3-20 of the general statutes.
