Protect farmers from PFAS lawsuits, require state to develop related PFAS standards

Last updated 2026-03-17 5:41 am
Summary:

Establishes an agricultural PFAS relief fund to assist farmers affected by contamination and imposes a five-year moratorium on the land application of sludge or biosolids.

The House rewrote the bill. The new bill grants immunity to farmers for damages resulting from lawsuits based on harms caused by PFAS present in soil, water, or agricultural products. The bill also requires the Department of Environmental services to develop concentration-based standards for PFAS in biosolids at land-application sites.
