Massachusetts H4853 protects farmers from PFAS contamination by providing immunity from certain lawsuits and establishing a relief fund for affected.

Massachusetts H4853, known as the "Act protecting our soil, farms and food from PFAS contamination," aims to shield farmers from liability for damages caused by PFAS present in soil, water, livestock, or agricultural products due to standard practices or contamination outside their control.
