Bill > LD16

This bill modifies the existing law regarding prosecutorial districts in Maine by separating Hancock and Washington Counties into two distinct prosecutorial districts. Specifically, the bill reduces Prosecutorial District Number 7 to only include Hancock County, and creates a new Prosecutorial District Number 9 for Washington County. Under the new arrangement, each county will have its own district attorney, who will be elected by the voters of their respective county in accordance with existing election procedures. This change means that Washington County will now have a dedicated district attorney, rather than sharing one with Hancock County as was previously the case. The bill uses technical legislative language to amend the existing statute, changing phrases like "shall be" to "is" and specifying the election and organizational details for the new prosecutorial district.
