PFAS Action Act of 2023

The PFAS Action Act of 2023 establishes federal regulations to address PFAS contamination across multiple environmental and health domains. It requires the EPA to designate specific PFAS (like PFOA and PFOS) as hazardous substances, set drinking water standards for PFAS, and mandate testing and reporting by manufacturers. The bill provides $500 million for community water systems to install PFAS treatment systems, $100 million for school water testing and filtration, and creates a website to help homeowners test well water. It also establishes labeling requirements for PFAS-free products and mandates better public communication about PFAS risks.
