Amends the PFAS Reduction Act. Requires the Environmental Protection Agency to follow the most up-to-date guidance from the United States Environmental Protection Agency on controlling the discharge of PFAS. Requires the Agency to create a PFAS monitoring plan focusing on: monitoring PFAS contamination at solid waste, wastewater, and stormwater facilities, hazardous waste landfills, and facilities with air emissions; gathering State-specific information in order to craft effective policies around PFAS; identifying areas of particular concern due to PFAS concentrations or routes of exposure that need quick action; and gathering data that galvanizes support for PFAS source reduction and pollution prevention. Requires the plan to be submitted to the Governor and the General Assembly by July 1, 2024.
