What’s in it

This bill prohibits a political subdivision, as defined in the bill, from purchasing or acquiring, on or after January 1, 2026, a fire fighting or fire-suppressing foam to which perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances have been intentionally added. The bill may include a state mandate as defined in Code section 25B.3. The bill makes inapplicable Code section 25B.2, subsection 3, which would relieve a political subdivision from complying with a state mandate if funding for the cost of the state mandate is not provided or specified. Therefore, political subdivisions are required to comply with any state mandate included in the bill.
