What this bill would do

The PFAS-Free Procurement Act of 2025 aims to change how executive agencies purchase specific goods. It prohibits agencies from entering into or renewing contracts for covered items that contain PFOS or PFOA. Covered items include nonstick cookware, cooking utensils, furniture, carpet, and stain-resistant rugs. The bill also directs agencies to prioritize buying items that do not contain PFAS when it is practical and available. These new rules would take effect six months after the bill is enacted.
