Resolve, Directing The Department Of Public Safety, Office Of The State Fire Marshal To Compile A Statewide Inventory Of Aqueous Film-Forming Foam Concentrate

LD 400 requires the Maine State Fire Marshal to compile a statewide inventory of aqueous film-forming foam concentrate (AFFF), a firefighting foam, held by public and private entities possessing 5 gallons or more. Starting July 1, 2026, public entities (like state and local governments) must report their holdings within one year, while private entities must report over a two-year period. The completed inventory, made public as a record, must be submitted to the Maine Legislature by July 1, 2028, for review by environmental and public safety committees. This measure gathers data on AFFF distribution without changing its use or regulation.
