To direct the Secretary of Defense to designate a Coordinator for Engagement with PFAS-impacted defense communities.
HR 3761 directs the Secretary of Defense to appoint a Coordinator for Engagement with Defense Communities Affected by PFAS within one year of enactment. This Coordinator will directly serve current and former military communities in the U.S. contaminated by PFAS chemicals (like those used in firefighting foam), along with local governments and advocacy groups. The bill mandates the Coordinator to improve the Department’s outreach, education, and communication about PFAS contamination and remediation, and to act as a dedicated liaison between the Department and affected communities. It does not create new funding or regulations but establishes a formal role to enhance coordination on ongoing cleanup efforts.
