Water and wastewater systems across the country could face massive cleanup bills under federal Superfund law for PFAS chemicals they received but never manufactured. This bill blocks those lawsuits as long as utilities follow existing environmental rules, keeping the legal focus on the companies that actually made and released PFAS.
Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
Water Systems PFAS Liability Protection Act is a House bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Referred to the Subcommittee on Water Resources and Environment.
Latest action on H.R. 1267: Referred to the Subcommittee on Water Resources and Environment.
Who this affects: This bill directly affects water and wastewater utilities, their customers, and the broader landscape of who pays for PFAS cleanup.
Why this matters: PFAS chemicals are found in drinking water systems across the country. Water utilities didn't create these chemicals, but under current law they could be forced to pay billions in cleanup costs. This bill decides who should bear those costs.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
