California bill would require drinking water limits for ‘forever chemicals’
Assemblymember Jesse Gabriel introduced a bill on Wednesday to require California to set emergency rules limiting PFAS in drinking water, following similar standards set by EPA and 11 other states. The proposal, AB 794, would allow the State Water Resources Control Board to set standards that are more stringent than the first-ever national standards finalized by former President Joe Biden’s EPA in April 2024, which are now under litigation by chemical companies and water utilities.
