Creates programs to develop safer, PFAS-free gear and training for firefighters.
This bill would set up federal programs to create new, safer protective gear for firefighters. It would fund research to develop turnout gear without harmful PFAS chemicals. It would also pay for training on how to safely use and care for this new gear.
Today, there is no specific federal program dedicated to funding research for PFAS-free firefighter gear or training on its use. This bill would create two new federal grant programs: one to fund the research and development of PFAS-free turnout gear, setting aside $25 million annually from the government's budget year 2025 through 2029, and another to fund training on its safe use and care, setting aside $2 million annually from the government's budget year 2027 through 2031.
