The proposal would add a tax on companies that sell certain long-lasting chemicals called PFAS (often found in non-stick cookware, water-resistant clothing, and firefighting foam) to encourage them to reduce production of these substances. It would also provide tax credits to help communities and water systems pay for removing these chemicals from drinking water supplies. This affects chemical manufacturers, water utilities, and ultimately consumers who rely on clean drinking water.
