To direct the Secretary of Defense to designate a Coordinator for Engagement with PFAS-impacted defense communities.

This bill tells the Department of Defense to name a single point person to work with communities near current or former military sites that have PFAS chemical contamination. The coordinator’s job is to make outreach and education clearer, and to be a go‑between for the Pentagon, local governments, community groups, and residents where cleanup is still underway or not finished yet.

Key points

• Who is affected: People living in or near communities tied to current or former military bases with PFAS contamination.
• What changes: A dedicated coordinator will improve communication, answer questions, and connect locals with the Department of Defense during PFAS cleanup efforts.
• When: The coordinator must be in place within one year after the bill becomes law.
