Amendments put forth by Livingston County's congresswoman addressing PFAS contamination, supply chain vulnerabilities, and toxic burn pit exposure were signed into law as part of the bi-partisan 2022 budget for the Department of Defense. President Joe Biden signed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) into law Monday, which will fund the Pentagon and the U.S. military for the coming year. The provisions submitted by 8th District Democratic Representative Elissa Slotkin, a member of the House Armed Services Committee, will increase reporting of PFAS contamination, reinforce supply chains for defense equipment, expand burn pit exposure assistance for American veterans, and strengthen the U.S.'s cybersecurity infrastructure.
