The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 110, seeks to authorize the issuance of state bonds to address well contamination issues in the town of Franklin. Specifically, the bill empowers the State Bond Commission to issue bonds not exceeding a total of five hundred thousand dollars. The proceeds from these bonds will be allocated to the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, which will provide a grant-in-aid to the town of Franklin. This funding is intended to remediate wells contaminated with perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances linked to the Franklin Town Hall, as well as other chemical contaminants at the Franklin Volunteer Fire Department.

The bill aims to address significant environmental health concerns by providing necessary financial resources to the town of Franklin for the cleanup of contaminated water sources. The initiative reflects a commitment to ensuring safe drinking water for the community and mitigating the impacts of hazardous substances on public health and the environment.
