H.911 is a proposed bill introduced by Representative Durfee of Shaftsbury that aims to prohibit the use and sale of pesticides containing perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) within the State of Vermont. Additionally, the bill seeks to ban the use and sale of any pesticide packaging that contains PFAS.

The legislation reflects growing concerns over the environmental and health impacts of PFAS chemicals, which are known to persist in the environment and accumulate in living organisms. By enacting this bill, Vermont would take a significant step towards reducing the presence of harmful substances in agricultural practices and protecting public health and the environment.
