Bill Summary

Protection from Algal Toxins Act

AI Summary

This bill, the Protection from Algal Toxins Act, amends the Safe Drinking Water Act to require the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator to publish a maximum contaminant level goal and promulgate a national primary drinking water regulation for microcystin toxin, a toxin produced by harmful algal blooms. The bill sets a deadline for the EPA to take these actions, which is the date of the first final determination made after the bill's enactment under the existing provision in the Safe Drinking Water Act that requires the EPA to review and revise national primary drinking water regulations every six years.
