What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer

Protection to collect and store or dispose of unused fire fighting foams that contain

perfluoroalkyl or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and that are voluntarily

surrendered. The bill allows DATCP 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 according to DNR's administrative rules.
