HR 4168 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 National Drinking Water Standard Act of 2025
To codify a national primary drinking water regulation for PFAS, and for other purposes.
Summary
This bill codifies the Environmental Protection Agency's national drinking water regulation for PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) into federal law. The regulation being codified is the EPA's "PFAS National Primary Drinking Water Regulation" that was issued in April 2024. By converting this EPA regulation into law through this bill, Congress would give the PFAS drinking water standards the force and effect of law. This would formalize and preserve the EPA's requirements for limiting PFAS in public water systems. The regulation would apply as it was in effect on June 25, 2024.
