The bill amends the Public Health Code by adding Part 57A, which focuses on exposure to perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). It establishes definitions for various terms related to the pilot program, including "eligible research institution," "PFAS," "pilot program," and "qualified county." The bill outlines the criteria for "qualified study participants," specifically targeting individuals who lived in certain counties and were exposed to PFAS through well water or public water supplies exceeding health screening levels.

Additionally, the bill creates the PFAS pilot program fund to support research institutions conducting studies on PFAS exposure. It specifies the roles of hospitals and laboratories involved in the program and emphasizes the importance of addressing public health concerns related to PFAS contamination. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of related legislation in the 103rd Legislature.
