Rep. Clint Moses, vice chair of the Assembly Agriculture Committee and supporter of AB488, says the bill introduces a legislative fix that allows first responders to use state funds to purchase eco-friendly, soybean-based fire suppressants. The initiative supports local farmers and protects firefighters by replacing PFAS chemicals with a safer alternative that works with existing department equipment. With the bill already through the Senate and facing no public opposition, supporters are now racing to get it to the Governor’s desk before the legislative session ends in March.
