Senate Bill 71 has been referred to the floor of the Alabama State Senate. This bill will prohibit state agencies from creating standards for toxic chemicals in Alabama rivers such as Forever Chemicals (PFAS) and require Alabama to follow Federal standards.

• This bill will allow Washington D.C. to dictate what is best for Alabama and the health of our families. This bill will restrict state environmental agencies from adopting regulations stricter than federal standards. This bill will increase the cost of treating drinking water. If ADEM can’t regulate harmful chemicals, water utilities and customers will have to pay the price of cleaning up our drinking water.

• This bill creates a costly, insurmountable burden for state agencies to create standards for toxic substances. The bill forces state agencies that have limited resources to show “a directcausal link” to bodily harm in order to protect citizens and prohibits standards based on “increased risk of disease.” All public health science is based on risk assessment.

• This bill would tie the hands of state agencies such as the Alabama Department of Health from issuing health advisories on water contamination. The bill will require state agencies to wait until people or animals are dying or sick from toxic exposure before they are allowed to adopt rules about dangerous chemicals or substances.
