Bill 117 HR 2742, also known as the PFAS Registry Act of 2021, is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress. The bill aims to establish a national registry for individuals who have been exposed to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which are harmful chemicals found in many everyday products.

The PFAS Registry Act of 2021 would require the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to create and maintain a registry of individuals who have been exposed to PFAS. This registry would collect information on the health effects of PFAS exposure, as well as demographic data such as age, gender, and location of exposure.

The bill also calls for the CDC to conduct research on the health effects of PFAS exposure and to provide information and resources to individuals who have been exposed to these harmful chemicals. Additionally, the legislation would require the CDC to report to Congress on the findings of their research and the status of the registry. Overall, the PFAS Registry Act of 2021 aims to increase awareness of the health risks associated with PFAS exposure and to provide support and resources to individuals who have been affected. By establishing a national registry and conducting research on the health effects of PFAS, this bill seeks to protect public health and ensure that those who have been exposed to these harmful chemicals receive the care and support they need.
