S. 2283, PFAS-Free Procurement Act of 2023 (CBO Report for Congress)

Premium   Download PDF Now (2 pages)
Congress 118th
Date Requested July 26, 2023
Requested By Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs
Date Sent Aug. 30, 2023
Description:
S. 2283 would prohibit executive branch agencies, starting on October 1, 2025, from procuring cookware, utensils, carpets, furniture, and other items containing certain perfluorooctane sulfonate or perfluorooctanoic acid compounds. Those substances fall within a larger group of “forever chemicals,” per- and polyfluoroalkl substances (PFAS), which are widely used compounds that decompose slowly over time. The bill also would require agencies to prioritize the procurement of PFAS-free products where available and practicable. Executive Order 14057, related Presidential memorandums, and the Federal Sustainability Plan restrict the use of PFAS-containing products. In addition, under current law, the Department of Defense is prohibited from procuring similar items that contain PFAS. Thus, CBO estimates that the costs of the bill would be less than $500,000 over the 2023‑2028 period; any spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds.
