Became law
This already passed. Here's what you can still do.
1. Push for repeal or amendment
Legislative staff still count constituent contacts on enacted laws. A steady mail stream is what gets a bill onto the next session's repeal docket. Pick “Oppose” below and the message will frame the ask around repeal, amendment, or enforcement relief.
→ Write to your rep3. Tell people the bill affects
Most people don't hear about a state-level bill until enforcement starts. A short note now (not a thread, just a link) gives the people most affected time to plan.
This bill creates a registry to collect health and military service data from Maine residents who trained at the Canadian military base in Gagetown, New Brunswick. It also reestablishes the Gagetown Harmful Chemical Study Commission to investigate the effects of chemical exposure on these individuals and provide medical testing. The commission will report its findings and recommendations to the Legislature.
