| LD1840 | An Act to Amend the Maine Medical Use of Cannabis Act | This bill makes the following changes to the Maine Medical Use of Cannabis Act. 1. It amends the definition of "caregiver retail store" to clarify that it is a retail store with regular business hours at a location accessible to the general public where a registered caregiver sells cannabis paraphernalia, cannabis plants, harvested cannabis, related supplies or educational materials to qualifying patients without an appointment and other items to the general public. It provides that a caregiver retail store does not include an office at a location not accessible to the general public where a registered caregiver provides consultation services, cannabis paraphernalia, cannabis plants, harvested cannabis, related supplies or educational materials to qualifying patients by appointment. 2. It prohibits the Department of Administrative and Financial Services, except where explicitly authorized or directed by law, from requiring a registered caregiver, registered dispensary, cannabis testing facility or manufacturing facility to use a form issued by the department in complying with the requirements of the Act or of adopted rules and from issuing a guidance document or memorandum to such persons regarding compliance by those persons with the requirements of the Act or of adopted rules. The bill directs the department’s Office of Cannabis Policy to, as expeditiously as possible, rescind and remove from public availability any noncompliant forms and guidance documents or memoranda. 3. It repeals the provision of law that authorizes a caregiver to receive reasonable monetary compensation for costs associated with cultivating cannabis plants or assisting a qualifying patient with that patient's medical use of cannabis. 4. It provides that a caregiver is authorized to transport, sell, offer to sell or furnish cannabis plants or harvested cannabis on the property or premises owned, leased or rented by the caregiver; at trade shows, festivals or other cannabis industry-related events; or through delivery to or private arrangement with a qualifying patient, caregiver or registered dispensary. 5. It removes the process under the Act by which a person that is not a qualifying patient, registered caregiver, registered dispensary or manufacturing facility may receive authorization from the department to engage in cannabis extraction using an inherently hazardous substance and prohibits such cannabis extraction other than by qualifying patients, registered caregivers, registered dispensaries or manufacturing facilities. A qualifying patient, registered caregiver, registered dispensary or manufacturing facility that engages in cannabis extraction using an inherently hazardous substance must comply with any rules regarding that activity adopted by the department by rule but is not required to obtain additional approvals or authorizations from the department to do so. 6. It prohibits the department from posting on its publicly accessible website or otherwise making publicly available, except upon request, applications, supporting information and other nonconfidential information regarding a registered caregiver, including any address where the registered caregiver cultivates, manufactures, tests, packages, stores or sells cannabis plants or harvested cannabis under this chapter. The bill directs the office to, as expeditiously as possible, remove from the office's website and otherwise from public availability, except upon request, any such nonconfidential information regarding registered caregivers. 7. It prohibits the department from requiring a caregiver retail store, registered dispensary, cannabis testing facility or manufacturing facility to use a form provided by the department to demonstrate municipal approval or other local authorization, if such approval or authorization is required by the municipality in which the store, dispensary or facility is seeking to operate. 8. It provides that a caregiver retail store, registered dispensary, cannabis testing facility or manufacturing facility that was previously issued by the department a registration or other authorization to operate and was subsequently denied such registration or other authorization based solely on the failure of the store, dispensary or facility to obtain a completed form provided by the department to demonstrate municipal approval or other local authorization, or based solely on the failure of the municipality to adopt or amend an ordinance or approve a warrant article as required by law, is deemed in compliance with applicable municipal approval or local authorization requirements under the Act. A caregiver retail store, registered dispensary, cannabis testing facility or manufacturing facility deemed in compliance with applicable municipal approval or local authorization requirements pursuant to this provision may request and the department shall issue a registration or other authorization to renew operations, provided that: the store, dispensary or facility is to be located in the same municipality in which it was located when last issued a registration or other authorization to operate by the department; and the store, dispensary or facility satisfies all other applicable registration or authorization requirements pursuant to the Act and adopted rules, excluding any such requirements relating to municipal approval or local authorization and any such requirements that the store, dispensary or facility maintain continuous operation since it was last issued a registration or other authorization to operate by the department. 9. It provides that the Department of Administrative and Financial Services, in its annual report to the Legislature regarding the medical cannabis program, must include information regarding the gross sales of cannabis for medical use for the current and prior fiscal years. 10. It directs the Department of Administrative and Financial Services, Office of Cannabis Policy, on or before January 9, 2026, to provisionally adopt and submit for legislative review major substantive rules necessary to implement the medical cannabis research grant program in accordance with the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 22, section 2430, subsection 5. | Passed |

Increasing the number of cannabis plants and expanding the area of canopy of cannabis plants that a medical use caregiver who is a sun-grown cultivator and who registers based on annual plant count or canopy may cultivate. The bill establishes a registration fee for such caregivers; 3. Creating requirements for the outdoor cultivation of cannabis for medical use; 4. Allowing medical use caregiver assistants and contractors, employees and other support staff of adult use cannabis licensees a 30-day grace period to assist, work or perform services after submitting an application for an individual identification card; 5.

It updates the declared intent of the Act to provide that, if it is proposed that benefits provided are to be increased on any future date, cost-of-living adjustments be included in the benefits to be increased rather than increasing the benefits provided to a beneficiary who resides in certain living arrangements. 5.

| LD1073 | An Act to Amend Provisions of the Maine Metallic Mineral Mining Act to Advance Health Equity and Improve the Well-being of Vulnerable Populations | This bill provides a number of amendments to the Maine Metallic Mineral Mining Act, including the following. 1. In addition to other requirements provided under current law, the bill requires an applicant for a mining permit to: A. Submit a human health impact assessment for the proposed mining operation that identifies all potential emissions and effects from the mining operation in a proposed mining area and affected area that can reasonably be expected to cause or threaten harm to human health and to particularly vulnerable populations. The assessment must include a baseline health data evaluation for the population surrounding the mining operation; B. Demonstrate specific plans to provide for and fund the perpetual treatment and monitoring of mine waste and tailings in the event that the applicant fails to satisfy applicable mine waste or tailings management requirements, applicable closure and post-closure monitoring requirements or other applicable requirements resulting in the need for perpetual treatment of mine waste or tailings following closure; C. Demonstrate specific plans to address natural events that may affect mining operations and for the implementation of climate adaptation measures as specified by rule; and D. Demonstrate specific plans for ensuring that the mining operation will use clean energy measures and technologies to the greatest extent practicable. 2. In addition to other restrictions provided under current law, the bill prohibits the Department of Environmental Protection from issuing a mining permit for a mining operation that: A. Will involve or result in the release of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances into the air, soil, groundwater or surface water within any mining area or affected area; B. Will involve the use of explosives or other blasting materials that contain perchlorate; or C. Does not meet all applicable setback requirements specified in rule, which must include, but are not limited to, minimum setbacks from schools, day care facilities, residences, hospitals, national and state parks, elder care facilities, community gardens, churches, locations considered sacred by federally recognized Indian tribes, nations or bands in the State, water bodies and wildlife refuges. 3. In addition to other requirements provided under current law, the bill requires a mining permittee to: A. Comply with applicable air quality standards and requirements through direct measurement of emissions and not by estimating emissions concentrations; to conduct air emissions monitoring for the pollutants described in the State's ambient air quality standards laws and for other hazardous air pollutants specified in rule; to install and operate fenceline monitoring equipment for air emissions from any stack, flue, chimney, vent or other potential source of air pollution within a mining area; and to ensure the monitoring and measurement of fugitive emissions to the air within a mining area; and B. Provide proof of and maintain comprehensive general liability insurance for the mining operation for the same duration as financial assurance is required by law, which must provide sufficient coverage to address potential harm to members of the public located adjacent to or in proximity to mining areas or affected areas. 4. The bill amends the provisions of the mining law regarding imminent endangerment to provide the department with authority to take action necessary to prevent an imminent and substantial endangerment to the public health or safety, environment or natural resources that a mining operation has the potential to cause or result in, regardless of whether a violation exists. 5. The bill amends certain definitions within the mining law and makes other associated changes to the mining law to provide for the regulation of smelting or refining activities and facilities that are part of the mining operation. If a mining operation involves on-site smelting or refining activities or facilities, if mine waste or other materials resulting from those activities is removed for off-site storage or disposal, the permittee must conduct post-closure groundwater monitoring at any location where the mine waste or other materials are stored or disposed. 6. The bill amends permittee notification requirements to require the provision of information to communities surrounding a mining operation regarding air emissions and other fugitive emissions, material safety data for all chemicals and substances used in the mining operation and the results of studies or modeling regarding the mining operation. At the request of a surrounding community that receives such information, the permittee must attend a public meeting to provide additional information. | Dead |
| LD1122 | An Act to Amend the Law Banning Single-use Carry-out Bags | This bill amends the law banning the use of single-use plastic carry-out bags at retail establishments to clarify the scope of that law by incorporating new definitions for "recycled paper carry-out bag," "reusable fabric carry-out bag" and "reusable plastic carry- out bag." It also amends related definitions and makes other associated technical changes, including amending the definition of "point of sale" to provide that the law's prohibitions and other provisions apply to bags provided to a customer at self-service check-out kiosks, at in-store or curbside pickup locations and at any other location, including a customer's home, at which purchased merchandise is delivered or otherwise transferred to the customer. The bill also increases from 5 cents to 10 cents the fee that a retail establishment must charge for each recycled paper carry-out bag or reusable plastic carry-out bag used to bag products at the point of sale. These changes to the law banning the use of single-use plastic carry-out bags at retail establishments are effective January 1, 2026. | Dead |
