The Military PFAS Transparency Act of 2025

This bill requires the Defense Department to be open about how it handles PFAS at military bases. It orders a yearly report that shows, for each base, how much money is budgeted, obligated, and spent on PFAS cleanup, what actions are planned or underway, where each action stands (design, contracting, construction, and operation), timelines, any delays over 12 months with reasons, and the barriers causing those delays along with plans to fix them.

It also requires a plan to speed up cleanup within 180 days, with clear priorities based on risk to health, environmental impact, and how close the problem is to nearby communities. The plan must set cleanup timelines, add resources and testing capacity, and set performance targets. Within one year, the Department must launch a public online dashboard showing base‑by‑base funding, progress, timelines, and a local contact for community questions, with updates twice a year.

• Who is affected: Military installations and nearby communities dealing with PFAS issues.
• What changes: Annual PFAS cleanup reports with site details; a 180‑day acceleration strategy; a public dashboard updated twice a year .
• When: Reports start one year after the bill becomes law and continue every year; the strategy is due in 180 days; the dashboard is due within one year and updated every six months .
