Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill requires the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer
Protection to collect and store or dispose of unused fire fighting foams that contain
perfluoroalkyl or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and that are voluntarily
surrendered. The bill allows DATCP to contract with a third party to conduct the
collection and storage or disposal. The bill requires DATCP or the third party
administering the collection program to prioritize collecting from the state and from
cities, villages, towns, and counties. Under the bill, any PFAS foams that are
collected under the program must be stored in an environmentally safe manner until
properly disposed of or treated according to DNR's administrative rules.
