What’s happening with Water Systems PFAS Liability Protection Act?
The Water Systems PFAS Liability Protection Act is currently in the House Subcommittee on Water Resources and Environment as of February 11, 2025. The House committee must hold a vote to advance the bill, but the binding constraint is that most bills fail because they never receive a committee vote. This effort remains in the early stages of the legislative process, and similar past attempts have not moved forward.
