Bill Summary
PFAS Registry Act
AI Summary
This bill, the PFAS Registry Act, directs the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to establish a registry to ensure that members of the Armed Forces who may have been exposed to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on military installations receive information regarding such exposure. The bill requires the Secretary to collect and maintain information on the health effects of PFAS exposure, develop a public information campaign to inform eligible individuals about the registry, and periodically notify them of significant developments in the study and treatment of PFAS-related conditions. The bill also requires the Secretary to submit initial and follow-up reports to Congress on the effectiveness of actions taken to address PFAS exposure, and to provide recommendations for additional chemicals to be included in the registry.
