Gramlich is also currently serving as a field coordinator and professor at the University of Southern Maine. While Maine had already eliminated the statute of limitations on civil lawsuits brought by these survivors in 2000, the bill did not apply retroactively, making it more difficult for people who were victims as children to bring a case. The bill introduced by Gramlich applied retroactively. The bill faced significant opposition from the foodservice industry, as well as grocery stores, truckers, and bottled water producers. They cited the financial burden the ban would have on their businesses. The ban will take place in 2030, and starting in 2023, any manufacturer in Maine planning to use PFAS has to disclose their use and rationale.
