This bill amends current law regarding PFAS contaminants in drinking water and toxic packaging. The bill requires all public water supply systems in the state to conduct monitoring for PFAS contaminants in drinking water. If the monitoring results detect the presence of PFAS contaminants above the interim drinking water standard level, the water supply system must conduct continued monitoring and may be required to implement treatment or other remedies to reduce the levels of PFAS contaminants. The bill also prohibits the sale of packages or packaging components that intentionally contain lead, cadmium, mercury, or hexavalent chromium above a certain concentration level. Additionally, the bill prohibits the sale of food packages that contain PFAS contaminants. The bill establishes a regional or national clearinghouse to assist in carrying out the requirements of the toxic packaging reduction act. This bill takes effect upon passage.
