At some point in the near future, the Legislature is expected to hold hearings on House Bill 2197 and Senate Bill 1356, both entitled “An Act to protect public health from PFAS.”
There is enormous traction behind moving PFAS legislation in the 2023-2024 session. Of the many PFAS bills filed, we believe H2197/S1356 have the best chance of passage.
MCTA’s goal through the strategy sessions is to develop a roadmap highlighting the major issues of concern, alternative approaches, and the unintended consequences of the sweeping legislation on public safety, human health and the economy. It will guide us when crafting testimony, meeting with Public Health Committee members, and House and Senate Leadership
Our first Planning Session is June 1 at 11. If you haven’t already signed up, please email Katherine Robertson at katherine@masscta.org for access information.
