What it does
The PFAS Alternatives Act would establish a grant program administered by the Secretary of Health and Human Services to support research, development, and testing of PFAS-free turnout gear for firefighters, with $25 million authorized annually from fiscal years 2025 to 2029. It would also create a separate training program, beginning in fiscal year 2027, to disseminate guidance on safe use and decontamination of such gear, funded at $2 million annually through fiscal year 2031. The bill requires grant recipients to partner with firefighting industry organizations and prioritize innovations that reduce occupational illness and injury, including enhanced protection against contaminants and improved ease of cleaning. A progress report must be submitted to Congress within two years of enactment.
