This bill mandates the Department of Environmental Services to publish comprehensive data regarding per and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) testing results on its public website. Specifically, it requires the department to publish results from various sources, including public water systems, private wells tested under state programs, and environmental samples such as surface water, groundwater, and soil. The bill also stipulates that the data must be presented in a searchable format by location, date, and type of PFAS contaminant, with updates every six months. Additionally, it emphasizes the protection of personally identifiable information for private well owners while ensuring sufficient location detail is provided to inform the public about PFAS contamination.

The bill introduces a new paragraph to RSA 485-A:4, specifically paragraph XIX, which outlines these requirements. There are no deletions from current law mentioned in the text. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
