Creates new provisions regarding the discharge of foam fire suppressants
HB 1208 bans the manufacture, sale, and use of firefighting foam containing intentionally added PFAS chemicals (a type of persistent environmental pollutant) in Missouri starting January 1, 2027, with limited exceptions for airport use required by federal law or military defense applications. It requires immediate reporting of any discharge of such foam into waterways or land within 24 hours and mandates manufacturers to notify buyers and recall existing PFAS-containing foam before the 2027 deadline. The bill aims to protect Missouri’s water, soil, and air by phasing out these chemicals, which are linked to long-term environmental contamination.
