✦ Plain-Language Summary

This law sets strict limits on how much of certain 'forever chemicals' (PFAS) can be present in New York's drinking water. PFAS are man-made chemicals linked to serious health problems like cancer and immune system damage. Water suppliers would be required to test for these chemicals and take action if levels exceed the new safety standards, helping protect all New Yorkers from contaminated tap water.
