PFAS–Free Procurement Act of 2025
Introduced Apr 30, 2025 by Rep. Michael Lawler
It's waiting on a committee vote to reach the full chamber. Most bills never leave this stage.
This bill prohibits an executive agency from renewing or entering into a contract for the procurement of covered items that contain perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) or perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA). Under the bill, covered items means (1) nonstick cookware and cooking utensils; and (2) furniture, carpet, and any rug treated with stain-resistant coating. Both PFOS and PFOA are types of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, commonly known as PFAS. PFAS are man-made and may have adverse human health effects.
The bill also specifies that agencies must prioritize the procurement of covered items that do not contain PFAS.
