Official summary
Abstract published by the legislature (via Open States). Text as published by the legislature; reproduced verbatim.
Self-reporting of PFAS manufacture and use for PFAS assessment; Department of Environmental Quality; industrial wastewater; publicly owned treatment works. Requires every publicly owned treatment works to require certain new or existing industrial users to self-report use of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) as part of a pretreatment program. The bill requires every publicly owned treatment works receiving such self-report of PFAS from an industrial user to convey the information to the Department of Environmental Quality within 90 days of receipt. The bill amends the defined meaning of "use of PFAS" to exclude use of surface water or groundwater supply from the definition. Currently, "use of PFAS" does not include manufacturing equipment that contains PFAS. The bill also directs any industrial user required to self-report use of PFAS to submit such report within 90 days of notification from the publicly owned treatment works of this reporting requirement and requires the publicly owned treatment works to notify relevant industrial users of the requirement to self-report use of PFAS within 90 days of notification from the Department to make such notification. The bill requires the Department to notify publicly owned treatment works of the industrial user self-reporting requirements within 30 days of the bill's effective date. Finally, the bill directs the PFAS Expert Advisory Committee to include in its 2025 annual report recommendations on the development of an inventory of PFAS testing methodologies and control technologies for industrial sources.
