Posts - Bill - HR 1267 Water Systems PFAS Liability Protection Act
house 02/12/2025 - 119th Congress
We are proposing the "Water Systems PFAS Liability Protection Act" to protect water and wastewater treatment facilities from certain liabilities under existing environmental laws related to PFAS, provided they manage these substances according to applicable regulations. This aims to ensure essential public services can continue without facing undue legal and financial burdens, while maintaining accountability for any gross negligence or willful misconduct.
