Plain-language change summary

The amendment made to S. 2283 removes the provision that allowed for procurement contracts related to items containing certain harmful chemicals, specifically perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA). It retains the focus on prioritizing the procurement of products that do not contain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) but eliminates specific language pertaining to the prohibition on such items. This change shifts the emphasis from an outright prohibition to a more general prioritization of safer products.
