The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 53, aims to amend current statutes regarding the remediation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on real property. The key change introduced by this bill is the requirement that remediation efforts for PFAS will only be mandated if a hazardous level of these substances is detected on the property. This establishes a clear baseline for when remediation is necessary, potentially reducing unnecessary cleanup efforts and associated costs for property owners.

The bill does not specify any deletions from current law but focuses on the insertion of the new requirement regarding hazardous levels of PFAS. By setting this baseline, the legislation seeks to provide clarity and guidance for property owners and environmental regulators in addressing PFAS contamination.
