HR 3110 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
PFAS–Free Procurement Act of 2025
To prohibit the procurement of certain items containing perfluorooctane sulfonate or perfluorooctanoic acid and prioritize the procurement of products not containing PFAS.
Summary
This bill prohibits federal executive agencies from entering into or renewing contracts to procure nonstick cookware, cooking utensils, furniture, carpet, and rugs treated with stain-resistant coating that contain PFOS (perfluorooctane sulfonate) or PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid). The bill requires agencies to prioritize purchasing these same covered items without PFAS (perfluoroalkyl or polyfluoroalkyl substances) where such products are available and practicable. The provisions take effect six months after the bill is enacted.
