Senate passes S.197 targeting PFAS in products and monitoring adverse health conditions
Summary
S.197, an act relating to procurement and distribution of products containing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances and monitoring adverse health conditions attributed to them, received third reading and was passed on the Senate floor by voice vote.
The Vermont Senate gave final passage to S.197 after a third reading on the floor.
Clerk read S.197 titled "an act relating to the procurement and distribution of products containing perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances and monitoring adverse health conditions attributed to perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances." The presiding officer asked if the Senate was ready for the question; in response to the call for ayes the Senate answered and the presiding officer announced "The ayes have and you have passed S197." No floor amendments were recorded in the transcript; the clerk's reading and the presiding officer's announcement indicate the bill passed during that session.
The passage clears the act to proceed according to the Legislature's usual enrollment and transmittal process; any implementation actions or agencies responsible for rulemaking were not detailed on the floor during the recorded reading.
