AN ACT CONCERNING GRANTS FOR THE REMOVAL OF PFAS FROM FIRE APPARATUS.

HB 6669 expands eligibility for state grants to remove PFAS (chemicals used in firefighting foam) from fire apparatus. It makes independent fire companies and state entities eligible for these grants, and allows reimbursement for PFAS removal work completed before July 1, 2023. The bill amends existing law to include these groups and cover retroactive costs, ensuring broader access to funding for this cleanup. This directly affects fire departments and state agencies that have already removed PFAS from equipment.
