Great news! S.3207-A/A. 8634 just passed in the Senate, which would lower New York State's allowable contaminant level for PFAS in drinking water. A huge thank you to bill sponsors, Sen. @BrianKavanaghNY and Asm. Grace Lee. We urge the assembly to pass the bill this session.

Proud to join @nylcv last night in support of the excellent work they do in fighting to preserve our environment and protect public health.
