Request interim study of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances

This joint resolution requests an interim study on perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in Montana, to be completed by September 15, 2026. The study will examine PFAS sources, health risks (including exposure through water, food, and products), and potential solutions like environmental remediation and product restrictions. Findings must be reported to the 70th Legislature to inform future policy decisions. The resolution does not create new laws but directs the Legislative Council to investigate PFAS impacts on Montanans' health and environment.
