Updated February 8, 2026 at 8:15 AM UTC

The PFAS Health Study Act of 2021 extends the Department of Defense’s ability to move money for a study on per‑ and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) contamination in drinking water. It lengthens the time frame for that authority, covering fiscal years 2019 through 2023 instead of only 2019‑2021. The change applies to DoD funding programs that support the PFAS health research effort.

Key Provisions

  • Amends prior National Defense Authorization Acts to replace the phrase “fiscal years 2019, 2020, and 2021” with “fiscal years 2019 through 2023,” thereby extending the DoD’s authority to transfer funds for the PFAS drinking‑water study.
