PFAS Community Engagement and Transparency Act

This bill establishes a new Office within the Department of Defense to coordinate direct engagement with communities affected by PFAS chemical contamination from military sites. It requires the DoD to provide technical assistance grants to help residents navigate environmental response efforts, interpret site documents, and participate in remediation planning. The bill also mandates restoring data sharing about PFAS water testing with states and advisory boards, and requires annual reports on community engagement and a GAO assessment of DoD cleanup efforts. These provisions focus on improving transparency and community involvement in addressing PFAS contamination near military installations.
