The bill appropriates funds from the general fund to the commissioner of the Pollution Control Agency for a study on the effects of land-applied biosolids on the spread of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Specifically, it allocates a specified amount for the fiscal year to conduct this research, which aims to evaluate PFAS concentrations in biosolids, assess the leaching of PFAS into water and food, and explore alternative disposal and treatment options.

Additionally, the commissioner is required to submit a report by December 1 to the relevant legislative committees, detailing the findings of the study. The report must include an evaluation of PFAS concentrations, identification of alternative disposal methods, and recommendations for managing PFAS-contaminated waste streams. This initiative underscores the state's commitment to addressing environmental concerns related to PFAS contamination.
