"Gov. Tony Evers announced Monday that he’s signed off on bringing Wisconsin’s PFAS and lead regulations in line with federal standards.

The move comes amid legal challenges to federal regulations and an ongoing power struggle between Wisconsin’s Democratic governor and the Republican-controlled Legislature over agency rules.

The new state rules mirror federal regulations enacted by the Environmental Protection Agency under the Biden administration."
