Sec. 2. Congressional findings

The Congress finds the following:

(1) PFAS pollution results in significant health harms and social costs, including—

(A) an estimated annual cost as high as $60,000,000,000 with respect to the impact of such pollution on health, and

(B) an estimated cost of between $7,000,000 and $30,000,000 per pound of such pollution with respect to its removal from drinking water.

(2) Raising revenues to partially address the significant costs resulting from PFAS pollution would complement other avenues for addressing such costs, including regulatory efforts by States and communities to hold PFAS polluters accountable.
