Jay Cruz 0 252 Article rating: No rating

On December 22, President Biden signed into law the fiscal year (FY) 2025 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) which provides $895 billion for national defense, including funding for PFAS. While the final law is stripped of most PFAS policy measures that were in earlier House or Senate versions, the FY25 NDAA continues to support the management of PFAS by setting out increased funding for firefighting foam replacement and PFAS cleanups, as well as supporting a procurement policy for the Department of Defense (DOD) to buy products that are PFAS-free.
