This bill amends the Public Health Code to establish a pilot program aimed at assessing the levels of PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) in the blood of qualified study participants in Michigan. The Department of Health will administer a grant program to research institutions to conduct this pilot program, which includes requirements for grant applications, participant consent, and collaboration with primary care physicians. The pilot program must conclude within five years, and the department is tasked with reporting on the program's progress and effectiveness to legislative committees.

Additionally, the bill creates the PFAS pilot program fund within the state treasury to support the program financially. The fund will be used to award grants, reimburse testing costs, and develop educational materials about PFAS. The department is also authorized to promulgate rules for implementing this part of the law. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of related legislation.
