Died when the session ended · The General Assembly adjourned on October 2, 2026. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died.

What it does

This bill requires a waste water treatment plant to test sewage sludge for perfluoroalkyl or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) prior to providing the sewage sludge for application on land used for farming. If the test detects the presence of PFAS, the waste water treatment plant must notify the owner of the land of that fact. The owner may refuse to accept the sewage sludge without legal consequence.
