What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer

Protection, in collaboration with the Department of Natural Resources, to collect and

store or dispose of fire fighting foams that contain perfluoroalkyl or polyfluoroalkyl

substances (PFAS) and that are voluntarily surrendered. The bill allows DATCP,

with the advice of DNR, to contract with a third party to conduct the collection and

storage or disposal. The bill requires DATCP or the third party administering the

collection program to prioritize collecting from the state and from cities, villages,

towns, and counties. Under the bill, any PFAS foams that are collected under the

program must be stored in an environmentally safe manner until properly disposed

of or treated.
