SYNOPSIS

���� Restricts discharge of firefighting foams containing 
perfluoroalkyl or polyfluoroalkyl substances for training or testing purposes.

CURRENT VERSION OF TEXT 

���� Introduced Pending Technical Review by Legislative 
Counsel.

�� 

An Act restricting the discharge of certain 
firefighting foams for training or testing purposes and supplementing Title 58 
of the Revised Statutes.

���� Be It 
Enacted by the Senate and General Assembly of 
the State of New Jersey:

���� 1.��� a.� No person shall 
discharge a firefighting foam containing intentionally added perfluoroalkyl or 
polyfluoroalkyl substances for training purposes.

���� b.��� No person shall 
discharge a firefighting foam containing intentionally added perfluoroalkyl or polyfluoroalkyl 
substances for testing purposes unless the testing facility has implemented 
appropriate containment, treatment, and disposal measures to prevent releases 
of foam to the environment, including if testing is required by law or the 
authority having jurisdiction.

���� c.���� A person who violates 
subsection a. of this section shall be subject to a penalty of up to $2,500 for 
each violation, to be collected in a civil action in a summary proceeding under 
the "Penalty Enforcement Law of 1999," P.L.1999, c.274 (C.2A:58-10 et 
seq.).� The Superior Court and the municipal court shall have jurisdiction over 
proceedings for the enforcement of the penalty provided by this section.� The 
Department of Community Affairs or the enforcing official in the municipality 
in which the violation occurs shall enforce the provisions of subsection a. of 
this section.

���� d.��� As used in this section, 
"perfluoroalkyl or polyfluoroalkyl substance" means a synthetic 
organic compound containing at least one fully fluorinated carbon atom and 
designed to be fully functional in firefighting foam formulations.

���� 2.��� This act shall not 
restrict (a) the manufacture, sale, or distribution of firefighting foam that 
contains intentionally added perfluoroalkyl or polyfluoroalkyl substances, or 
(b) the discharge of such foams in emergency firefighting or fire prevention 
operations.

���� 3.��� This act shall take 
effect two years after the date of enactment.

STATEMENT

���� This bill would formalize best 
practices that would ban the use of firefighting foam containing added perfluoroalkyl 
or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) for training and restrict their use in 
testing, which minimizes unnecessary environmental releases.� At the same time, 
the bill would allow firefighters and other first 

responders to have access to the 
tools needed to appropriately respond to emergency situations by ensuring that 
the most effective firefighting foams are available to protect life and 
property.�
