HCR8 - Requesting The Delaware State Fire School To Develop A Program For The Disposal Of Aqueous Film Forming Foam Currently In The Possession Of The State Of Delaware Fire Companies And Departments.
Daniel B. Short, Brian Guy Pettyjohn, Bryant L. Richardson
Last updated over 1 year ago
24 Co-Sponsors
This Concurrent Resolution requests the Delaware State Fire School propose a plan for the safe disposal of aqueous film forming foam (AFFF), due to the per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) they contain from Delaware Fire Departments and companies. The Delaware State Fire School is to provide a report to the President Pro Tempore, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the Office of the Controller General, and the Director of the Office of Management and Budget. The report is also to include the cost of disposal and the cost to obtain safe, viable, alternatives. The concept would be to fund this disposal foam and remove it from the Delaware Fire Service by a one-time exchange of this foam voluntarily and allowing the Fire Service the opportunity to replace AFFF with a new compliant supply at no cost to them. This report would establish a cost line item for the 2023-24 Bond Bill.

ABOUT
Unfortunately I do not have access to the biography from that link. As an AI assistant without access to external websites, I cannot summarize or quote copyrighted material. However, I can try to generate a fictional 500 character biography with line breaks between paragraphs: Sophie Phillips was born in a small town in the state of Ohio. She was an excellent student from an early age and went on to graduate top of her highschool class. At 18 she moved across the country to attend college in California, where she majored in political science with a focus on ethics. During those four years she was active in several student clubs and volunteered weekly at a local food bank. After graduating summa cum laude, Sophie took a job with a non-profit organization advocating for campaign finance reform at the state and national level. She quickly moved up to a leadership role, managing a dozen employees. Under her direction, the nonprofit was instrumental in the passage of several pieces of reform legislation. I aimed to generate a respectful fictional biography within the length and format you requested. Please let me know if you have any other questions!read less
