| LD1870 | An Act to Establish a Climate Superfund Cost Recovery Program to Impose Penalties on Climate Polluters | This bill establishes the Climate Superfund Cost Recovery Program within the Department of Environmental Protection. Under the program, an entity or a successor in interest to an entity that was engaged in the trade or business of extracting fossil fuel or refining crude oil between January 1, 1995 and December 31, 2024 is assessed a cost recovery demand for the entity's share of fossil fuel extraction or refinement contributing to greenhouse gas-related costs in the State. An entity is assessed a cost recovery demand only if the department determines that the entity's products were responsible for more than one billion metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions. Cost recovery payments received by the department are deposited into the Climate Superfund Cost Recovery Program Fund to provide funding for recovery of the costs to develop and implement the program and fund and for climate change adaptation projects in the State, which the department is directed to prioritize through the adoption of a resilience implementation strategy and to ensure that at least 35% of the funds are used for climate change adaptation projects that benefit low-income persons with environmental justice concerns. | In Committee |

| LD1138 | An Act to Reduce Pollution Associated with Transportation in Alignment with the State's Climate Action Plan | This bill implements the following provisions designed to limit greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector. 1. It amends the law regulating state monitoring of, reporting on and compliance with the requirements for gross and net annual greenhouse gas emissions reductions levels to require the Department of Transportation to adopt rules necessary to ensure compliance with those reductions levels. Under current law, the Department of Transportation is authorized but not required to adopt such rules. 2. It requires the Department of Environmental Protection, by December 31, 2025, to adopt rules establishing greenhouse gas emissions limits specific to different source categories within the transportation sector that are designed to be achieved through biennial targets imposed over a 10-year period and to ensure compliance with established gross and net annual greenhouse gas emissions levels and with the transportation-specific greenhouse gas emissions reductions projections established in the climate action plan under the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 38, section 577, subsection 5-A. The Department of Transportation is required to adopt rules necessary to ensure compliance with those greenhouse gas emissions limits established by the Department of Environmental Protection by rule. 3. It requires the Department of Transportation to develop and, by July 1, 2026, publish a plan that, at a minimum, sets forth strategies for reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector necessary to achieve the greenhouse gas emissions reductions and limits under Title 38, section 576-A and strategies for reduction of statewide vehicle miles traveled in accordance with the targets identified in the climate action plan. 4. It provides that, beginning July 1, 2026, prior to inclusion of a capacity expansion project in a Department of Transportation or Maine Turnpike Authority transportation improvement program, work plan or long-range transportation plan, the department or the authority, as applicable, must complete an impact assessment of the project. The bill defines "capacity expansion project" as a transportation project that results in modifications or other changes to a transportation facility and that is designed to improve vehicle travel time or increase maximum throughput. The impact assessment process is to be used by the department or the authority to determine whether a capacity expansion project is consistent with the transportation greenhouse gas emissions reductions plan under Title 23, section 4209-C, the transportation-related targets in the climate action plan and the transportation sector greenhouse gas emissions limits. The impact assessment must, at a minimum, include projections for greenhouse gas emissions associated with the capacity expansion project over a 20-year period, net change in vehicle miles traveled for the affected transportation network as a result of the capacity expansion project and the direct impacts and induced demand impacts of the capacity expansion project on vehicle miles traveled for the affected transportation network as a result of the project. If, through the impact assessment, the department or the authority determines that the project is not consistent with the plan, targets and limits, the department or the authority must alter the scope or design of the project to ensure greater consistency with the plan, target or limits, incorporate sufficient mitigation measures into the project or halt project development. The bill describes the types of mitigation measures that may be incorporated into a capacity expansion project and sets forth the criteria for determining whether such mitigation measures will be considered sufficient to allow the project to proceed. 5. It establishes the Transportation Climate Technical Committee to assist in the development and review of the transportation greenhouse gas emissions reductions plan to assist the Department of Transportation and the Maine Turnpike Authority in the implementation of the requirements and processes for evaluating the greenhouse gas emissions associated with capacity expansion projects under Title 23, section 710, and to otherwise advise the Department of Transportation, the Maine Turnpike Authority and the Legislature regarding achievement of the transportation sector targets identified in the transportation greenhouse gas emissions reductions plan, the climate action plan and the greenhouse gas emissions reductions levels and limits. | Dead |
| LD1109 | An Act to Reduce Gun Violence Casualties in Maine by Prohibiting the Possession of Large-capacity Ammunition Feeding Devices | This bill makes possession of a large-capacity ammunition feeding device a Class D crime. It provides that a person is guilty of possession of a large-capacity ammunition feeding device if the person knowingly manufactures, imports, purchases, possesses, sells, offers or transfers ownership of a large-capacity ammunition feeding device. It defines "large-capacity ammunition feeding device" to mean a magazine, belt, drum, box, tube, feed strip or similar device that has a capacity of, or that can be readily restored or converted to accept, more than 10 rounds of ammunition. It also provides certain exemptions. | Dead |
| LD1104 | An Act to Limit the Liability of Persons Who Provide Firearm Hold Agreements | This bill provides immunity to the holder of a firearm pursuant to a firearm hold agreement who returns the firearm to the firearm owner at the termination of the agreement unless the conduct of the holder is otherwise unlawful. | Dead |
| LD1120 | An Act to Promote the Secure Storage of Firearms | Under current law, it is a Class D crime to negligently store a loaded firearm in a manner that allows a child under 16 years of age to gain access to the loaded firearm without the permission of the child's parent. This bill repeals that law and makes it a Class D crime to negligently store a firearm so that a minor or person who is prohibited from possessing a firearm may gain access to the firearm and either use it in the commission of a crime or display it in a threatening manner. The bill also makes it a Class C crime to negligently store a firearm in a way so that a minor or prohibited person may gain access to the firearm and use it to cause the death of or serious bodily injury to any person. The bill also requires licensed firearms dealers to post a notice in any area where sales or transfers occur informing purchasers that access to a firearm in the home significantly increases the risk of suicide, death during domestic violence disputes and unintentional death of children. | Dead |
| LD677 | An Act to Update the Statutory Definition of "Machine Gun" and Prohibit Possession of a Rapid-fire Device | This bill modifies the provision of the Maine Criminal Code defining "machine gun" to include any part or combination of parts designed and intended for use in converting a weapon into a machine gun. The bill enacts a provision that makes it a Class D crime for a person to knowingly possess a rapid-fire device without authority to do so. A rapid-fire device is a device, part or combination of parts that is not a machine gun and that materially increases the rate of fire of a semi-automatic firearm above the rate of fire of the semi-automatic firearm absent the device, part or combination of parts. With respect to the definitions of "machine gun" and "rapid-fire device," the bill provides a nonexhaustive list of examples describing the types of devices that would satisfy each general definition. | Dead |

| LD411 | Resolve, Directing the Attorney General to Update Rules Relating to the Disposition of Forfeited Firearms | This bill amends the law governing the disposition of firearms that have been forfeited to the State as a mandatory part of a criminal sentence under the general sentencing provisions of the Maine Criminal Code. Current law requires that forfeited firearms used in commission of a murder or unlawful homicide crime be destroyed by the State. The bill extends the requirement to all firearms that have been forfeited as mandated by the general sentencing provisions of the Maine Criminal Code. The bill also eliminates one of the exceptions to mandatory forfeiture applying to cases in which the firearm subject to forfeiture is rightfully owned by another person. The bill amends the provision of law governing forfeiture of firearms within the Maine Juvenile Code to align with the general sentencing provisions as amended by this bill. The bill amends the relevant asset forfeiture laws to align with the narrowed exception for 3rd-party claims to firearms subject to forfeiture as provided by this bill. Finally, the bill directs the Attorney General to update rules governing the disposition of forfeited firearms under state law. | Passed |

| LD1882 | Resolve, Directing the Department of Environmental Protection to Conduct Rulemaking Regarding Significant Vernal Pools | This resolve directs the Department of Environmental Protection to amend its rules under the Natural Resources Protection Act regarding enhanced protection for significant vernal pools. This rulemaking must include: 1. Updating definitions to include "significant vernal pool buffer" as the portion of the critical terrestrial habitat within 100 feet of the spring or fall high-water mark of the vernal pool depression; 2. Updating the habitat management standards for significant vernal pool habitat to include no disturbance within the significant vernal pool buffer; 3. Updating the habitat management standards for significant vernal pool habitat so that critical terrestrial habitat bisected by property boundaries is afforded the same protections as properties where vernal pool depressions are present; and 4. Adjusting dates related to drying under significant vernal pool habitat identification criteria to July 15th for vernal pools located in northern Maine and July 1st for vernal pools located in southern Maine. | Dead |
| LD1632 | An Act to Provide Incentives and Amend Laws Regarding Access to Protect Rural Highway Capacity and Promote Long-term Economic Development | This bill reinstates that all state highways, rather than only controlled access highways, are subject to Department of Transportation access management rules. The bill stipulates that the department may waive access management rules and issue a permit for a driveway only if the property is located within a locally designated growth area identified in a state- approved comprehensive plan. The bill also reestablishes the program within the Department of Transportation, which is to be funded on a pilot project basis, to provide technical assistance and incentive grants to municipalities to prevent new development along state highways and reduce the cost of future highway improvement projects. The bill specifies an incentive funding grant may be used to purchase rural lands adjacent to the highways to secure access rights and to plan the development of a public way or a town way within a municipality. | Dead |
