Clean Water Action Minnesota, home of Amara’s Law, congratulates the State of California and our partner office, Clean Water Action California, on the successful passage of Senate Bill 682. This legislation phases out unnecessary uses of PFAS (“forever chemicals”) in numerous consumer products with full implementation by 2031.
“Countries like France, Australia, England, and Japan are looking to Minnesota as the gold standard in PFAS regulation. That’s the legacy of Amara’s Law.”
Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced its intention to reconsider the April 2024 health-based drinking water limits for four PFAS “forever” chemicals and to delay protections for two more.
The Trump administration’s latest memo, which directs agencies to freeze funding for popular and effective programs relied upon by millions, is not only misguided but deeply damaging.
