Bill Summary

A BILL To direct the Secretary of Defense to designate a Coordinator for Engagement with PFAS-impacted defense communities.

AI Summary

This bill directs the Secretary of Defense to establish a new position called the "Coordinator for Engagement with Defense Communities Affected by PFAS" within one year of the bill's enactment. PFAS (perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are synthetic chemicals widely used in industrial and consumer products that have raised significant environmental and health concerns due to their persistence in the environment and potential toxicity. The Coordinator's primary responsibilities will include improving the Department of Defense's outreach, education, and communication efforts regarding PFAS contamination in current and former defense communities across the United States, as well as serving as a dedicated liaison between the Department of Defense and local governments, advocacy organizations, and individual citizens in areas with ongoing or incomplete PFAS remediation projects. By creating this position, the bill aims to enhance transparency, communication, and support for communities impacted by PFAS contamination near military installations, addressing growing concerns about the environmental and health risks associated with these chemicals.
