No Taxation on PFAS Remediation Act
No Taxation on PFAS Remediation Act
Plain Language Summary
# No Taxation on PFAS Remediation Act (HR 6669) Summary **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would provide tax relief for costs associated with cleaning up PFAS contamination. PFAS are "forever chemicals" — synthetic substances used in many industrial and consumer products that don't break down naturally in the environment. The bill would allow individuals and businesses to deduct or receive tax benefits for expenses they incur when remediating (cleaning up) PFAS pollution from water, soil, and other environmental sources. **Who It Affects and Key Provisions** The bill would primarily benefit property owners, municipalities, and businesses that have discovered PFAS contamination on their land or water supplies and face costly cleanup efforts.
PFAS has been found in drinking water systems, groundwater, and soil across the country, often near military bases, airports, and industrial sites. By offering tax incentives for remediation costs, the bill aims to make cleanup more financially feasible for those responsible for or affected by the contamination. **Current Status** As of now, the bill remains in committee and has not been voted on by the full House. It was introduced by Representative Chris Pappas (D-NH), whose state has dealt with significant PFAS contamination issues.
