Requests that federal government offer legal remedies to victims exposed to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances and incentivize research into effects of those substances.

This New Jersey Senate Resolution (SR 116) requests that the U.S. Congress pass federal legislation to provide legal remedies for people harmed by exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and to incentivize research on PFAS health effects. It specifically references the proposed "PFAS Accountability Act of 2024" as a model, noting PFAS - persistent chemicals found in water, consumer products, and workplaces - are linked to health issues like cancer and immune damage. The resolution does not create new law but urges federal action to address a nationwide issue, as no federal legal remedies currently exist for PFAS victims. It is a symbolic request intended to encourage Congressional support for comprehensive PFAS accountability.
