This bill amends the Pennsylvania Safe Drinking Water Act, specifically Section 4, which outlines the powers and duties of the Environmental Quality Board. The amendment introduces a new requirement that mandates the Environmental Quality Board to ensure that each entry point for a public water system is tested at least once a year for perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, irrespective of prior test results for that entry point.

The new testing requirement aims to enhance the safety and quality of drinking water by monitoring potentially harmful substances more rigorously. This legislative change reflects a commitment to public health and environmental protection by ensuring that water systems are regularly evaluated for contaminants that could pose risks to consumers. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
