Requires DEP to perform certain assessments concerning regulation of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances.

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to conduct a comprehensive assessment every five years of unregulated perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in drinking water. The assessment must determine if new safety standards are needed and specifically evaluate whether current standards adequately protect children, considering their smaller size and higher water intake relative to body weight. The DEP must report findings to the Governor and Legislature, publishing them online. This directly affects the DEP's regulatory duties and aims to strengthen public health protections for all New Jersey residents using public water systems.
