Chris Sununu (R) on Thursday signed the bill (HB 1264) targeting per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances,or PFAS. In addition to lowering permitted amounts and remediation aid, the measure requires healthinsurers to cover tests for PFAS in blood and extends a commission studying a pediatric cancer clusterbelieved linked to PFAS contamination.
