LD 222: An Act To Establish A Take-Back And Disposal Program For Firefighting And Fire-Suppressing Foam To Which Perfluoroalkyl And Polyfluoroalkyl Substances Have Been Added

This bill requires Maine's Department of Environmental Protection, in consultation with the State Fire Marshal, to create a voluntary take-back and disposal program for firefighting and fire-suppressing foam containing PFAS chemicals (perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances). The program must collect such foam from Maine residents or businesses that request it and ensure its safe disposal by July 1, 2027. It allows the department to hire outside contractors and create necessary rules for implementation. The bill directly affects anyone in Maine possessing PFAS-containing foam used for firefighting or fire suppression.

LD 635: Resolve, To Direct The Attorney General To Drop The Lawsuit Filed Against Big Oil Companies Concerning Climate Change

LD 635 is a resolution directing Maine's Attorney General to dismiss the state's lawsuit against major oil companies (State of Maine v. BP, PLC et al, Case No. 2:2025cv00001-NT) currently pending in federal court. This would end the state's legal action regarding climate change-related claims against oil companies. The bill specifically requires withdrawal from this existing case and does not create new environmental policies or regulations.
