The proposed bill establishes the "citizen's advisory working group" within the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy, aimed at addressing PFAS contamination in Michigan. The group will consist of members who are current or former residents of impacted communities, defined as areas with at least one official MPART PFAS site. The bill outlines the group's responsibilities, which include advising the Michigan PFAS Action Response Team (MPART) on community outreach, providing input on PFAS contamination, reviewing existing strategies, and recommending improvements to public health awareness regarding PFAS risks.

Additionally, the bill mandates that the working group operate in compliance with the Open Meetings Act and the Freedom of Information Act, ensuring transparency in its operations. Members of the group will not receive compensation for their service but may be reimbursed for necessary expenses. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of related legislation, specifically Senate Bill No. ____ or House Bill No. 5897.
