Relief for Farmers Hit with PFAS Act

This bill establishes a federal grant program to assist farmers and agricultural communities affected by PFAS (contaminants in soil and water). Eligible states, tribes, or local governments can apply for funds if their agricultural land or water sources contain unsafe PFAS levels, with 30% of annual funding reserved for smaller jurisdictions. Grants can be used for direct compensation to farmers for contaminated land/products, transitioning to new production systems, health monitoring, research on PFAS impacts, and developing remediation strategies. The program authorizes $500 million over five years (2024-2028) and requires annual reports on fund usage and community needs.
