PFAS National Drinking Water Standard Act of 2025

This bill, titled the PFAS National Drinking Water Standard Act of 2025, would codify the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) final rule known as the PFAS National Primary Drinking Water Regulation. Specifically, it would give the rule—the version in effect on June 25, 2024—full force and effect of federal law. In short, the bill converts the EPA’s PFAS drinking water standards into statutory law, making them nationwide and enforceable as part of the Safe Drinking Water Act framework. The bill does not appear to add new numeric standards beyond those contained in the EPA rule; rather, it preserves the 2024 rule’s standards and requirements as law. The bill was introduced in the House on June 26, 2025 by Rep. Fitzpatrick (with Rep. Dingell as a co-sponsor) and referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce. It does not include new provisions beyond codifying the EPA rule. Note: PFAS refers to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, a large group of man-made chemicals linked to health and environmental concerns. The EPA rule generally relates to enforceable limits and treatment requirements for PFAS in public drinking water systems.
