Congress Presses Forward on PFAS Measures Faced with rising EPA and state regulatory activities on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances ("PFAS")[i], Congress is advancing proposals that would regulate or impose restrictions on these "forever chemicals." More than thirty bills connected to PFAS are now pending in the United States Congress. These bills cover various issues, including military uses, funding assistance, detection and research, product stewardship, site remediation, and regulatory obligations. The PFAS Action Act of 2021(ii), passed by the House by a vote of 241-183 with twenty-three Republicans joining their Democratic colleagues in support of the bill, is the most comprehensive of these initiatives and has attracted substantial public attention. It is vital to remember that the PFAS provisions of this proposed law may be integrated into other initiatives, such as those addressing infrastructure), spending, or defense, notwithstanding the bill's uncertain future in the Senate.
