More PFAS cleanup transparency for communities

If enacted, the bill would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a PFAS remediation acceleration strategy within 180 days.

Reports would show per-site funding (budgeted, obligated, and later expensed), phase-by-phase status, timelines, and explanations for any phase delayed more than 12 months.
