Maine LD1903 aligns state PFAS laws with federal standards, affecting soil contamination, drinking water, and food packaging.
Maine LD1903 aligns state laws with federal standards for perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). It defines soil contamination by PFAS based on federal guidelines, mandates that state drinking water rules match federal standards, and requires state emissions standards for PFAS to be the same as federal standards. The bill also regulates the sale of food packaging containing PFAS, allowing prohibitions only if safer alternatives are available. Federal law preempts state authority on PFAS-containing food packaging sales.
