| LD839 | An Act to Create the Net Energy Billing Cost Stabilization Fund | This bill prohibits the inclusion of certain costs associated with the kilowatt-hour credit and commercial and institutional net energy billing programs in the operating expenses of a transmission and distribution utility. The bill requires the Public Utilities Commission to adopt routine technical rules to establish a process by which kilowatt-hour credit program costs and commercial and institutional program costs, less monetized benefits, are distributed to transmission and distribution utilities and distributed generation resources, as applicable.

| LD1009 | An Act to Restore Full Civil Rights to Possess Firearms to Persons Previously Convicted of Certain Nonviolent Felony Crimes | Currently, persons who have been convicted of committing or found not criminally responsible by reason of insanity of committing a crime in this State, a crime under the laws of the United States and certain crimes in other jurisdictions that are punishable by a term of imprisonment of one year or more are prohibited from owning, possessing or having under their control a firearm. This bill restores the right for some of these convicted persons to own, possess and have a firearm under their control, setting certain eligibility requirements a person must meet to have their civil rights relating to firearms restored, including a requirement that 10 years have passed since the completion of any sentence imposed on them. Eligibility for restoration of firearm rights is excluded for certain enumerated categories of crimes, including murder; any Class A crime; any Class B or C crime in violation of the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 17-A, chapter 9, 11, 12, 13, 33 or 45; robbery; assault on an officer; assault on an emergency medical services person; assault on a firefighter; aggravated sex trafficking; and sex trafficking. The bill also outlines the procedure for applying for a restoration of civil rights. A person meeting the eligibility requirements may submit a request to the Department of Public Safety to have that person's firearm rights restored. Upon receipt of a request, the department must conduct a review of the person's criminal history to ensure the person is eligible. Upon a determination that the person is eligible, the department must notify the court having jurisdiction over the crime on which the person's firearm prohibition is based, and that court must issue an order restoring the person's rights. The bill also stipulates that, in the event a person who has had the person's civil rights restored is subsequently convicted of any felony crime, defined as a crime punishable by a sentence of imprisonment of one year or more in Maine or any other jurisdiction, that person's restored rights are revoked and the person is ineligible from qualifying for a restoration of that person's rights in the future. In this occurrence, the court that issued the order restoring the person's civil rights to own, possess and have under the person's control a firearm must revoke that order. | In Committee |
| LD343 | An Act to Direct the Public Utilities Commission to Seek Informational Bids Regarding Small Modular Nuclear Reactors in the State | This bill requires the Public Utilities Commission to annually issue a request for informational bids for the establishment in the State of a small modular nuclear reactor, which is a nuclear reactor that has a rated generating capacity of no more than 350 megawatts, is capable of being constructed and operated at a single site on its own or in combination with one or more nuclear reactors and is required to be licensed by the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

The commission is required to make an annual report to the joint standing committee of the Legislature having jurisdiction over energy and utility matters detailing the informational bids received. The provisions of this legislation are repealed when the State accepts a bid for the establishment of a small modular nuclear reactor. The commission is required to notify the Revisor of Statutes when the State accepts a bid for the establishment of a small modular nuclear reactor. | Crossed Over |

If the operation, application or implementation of any statute or regulation of the United States in this State would result in the absence of any law or regulation applicable to a matter of public health or safety, including without limitation laws relating to land use or environmental matters, the corresponding laws of the State with respect to that health or safety matter apply to fill any regulatory gap; 5.

Gives a state court jurisdiction to hear a case challenging the legality of the exercise of emergency powers and requires the court to expedite consideration of the case to the extent practicable.

Requires the Governor to convene the Legislature if a declared state of emergency is to be in effect for longer than 30 days.

As a renewable resource or renewable capacity resource for the purposes of energy procurement or other energy contracting under the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 35-A, chapter 32; and 2.

To participate in the programs, all of the net energy billing credits associated with the output of the distributed generation resource must be allocated to the retail account of that customer. The bill also amends other statutes to reflect the changes made to the net energy billing programs by this bill. | Dead |
