Bill Bill Name Summary Progress
LD382 An Act to Establish a System of Revenue Sharing for the Use and Management of Coastal Resources This bill is a concept draft pursuant to Joint Rule 208. This bill would establish a fair and equitable system of revenue sharing for the commercial, industrial and recreational use and management of Maine's coastal resources that ensures a direct benefit to the communities most affected by the use of those resources and that promotes statewide economic growth. The bill would establish a standardized fee and royalty schedule for the use of those resources based on the type and scale of activities conducted and a formula for the distribution of the revenue generated, with a portion of the funds to be retained by the State to support the administration, enforcement and oversight of coastal resource activities and a portion of the funds to be distributed to affected communities and stakeholders. Under the bill, collection of established fees and royalties and distribution of that revenue would be administered and overseen by a statutorily established revenue sharing board consisting of representatives from state agencies, municipal governments and other stakeholders. In Committee

LD1296 An Act to Amend the Law Governing Watercraft Franchisor Warranty Reimbursements An Act to Amend the Law Governing Watercraft Franchisor Warranty Reimbursements Emergency preamble. Whereas, acts and resolves of the Legislature do not become effective until 90 days after adjournment unless enacted as emergencies; and Whereas, approximately 80% of watercraft sold in Maine are equipped with an outboard motor; and Whereas, the outboard motor manufacturer industry has recently been consolidated to primarily 2 companies that share the market; and Whereas, warranty repairs currently performed on watercraft are reimbursed with a flat rate for the labor performed based upon a manufacturer's estimate of the repair duration, which is not fitting for the marine industry; and Whereas, the upcoming summer months generally correlate with an increase in watercraft warranty repairs; and Whereas, in the judgment of the Legislature, these facts create an emergency within the meaning of the Constitution of Maine and require the following legislation as immediately necessary for the preservation of the public peace, health and safety; now, therefore, Signed/Enacted/Adopted
LD1032 An Act Regarding Court Security This bill requires the State Court Administrator to contract for the services of qualified individuals to perform court security-related functions and services at a court if court operations at that court have been adversely affected by a lack of available court security for more than 2% of scheduled court time in a month at that court. It provides that, when the State Court Administrator contracts for the services of qualified individuals to perform court security-related functions and services, the State Court Administrator must first offer the contract to the appropriate sheriff's office before the contract is offered to another party. Dead
LD383 An Act to Facilitate the Consolidation of the Department of Environmental Protection and the Maine Land Use Planning Commission into a Single Combined Entity This bill implements statutory changes and other provisions necessary to transition the Maine Land Use Planning Commission from the Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry to the Department of Environmental Protection. The bill also requires the Department of Environmental Protection, on or before January 1, 2026, to submit to the Joint Standing Committee on Environment and Natural Resources a report outlining recommendations, including necessary draft legislation, for the consolidation, by July 1, 2028, of the Department of Environmental Protection and the Maine Land Use Planning Commission into a single combined entity, to be known as the Maine Environmental and Land Use Commission. The new Maine Environmental and Land Use Commission must be designed to prioritize landowner rights, ensuring that private landowners are empowered to make use of their property subject to reasonable, well-established rules for the protection of the environment, and its activities and adopted rules must ensure sustainable land use development practices and not unduly or arbitrarily restrict landowner property use except as necessary to protect public health, safety and the environment. After reviewing the report, the committee may report out a bill relating to the report to the Second Regular Session of the 132nd Legislature. Dead
LD635 Resolve, to Direct the Attorney General to Drop the Lawsuit Filed Against Big Oil Companies Concerning Climate Change This resolve directs the Department of the Attorney General to dismiss and withdraw from the case State of Maine v.

LD381 An Act to Enable Mortgage Portability and Promote Housing Affordability in the State This bill authorizes mortgage porting, which is the process by which a mortgagor transfers the terms, outstanding balance and interest rate of an existing mortgage loan secured against a single-family dwelling or a dwelling that consists of no more than 4 units that is the principal residence of the mortgagor to another principal residence. The bill provides that a mortgagor is eligible for mortgage porting from a lender if the mortgagor has maintained the mortgagor's existing mortgage loan in good standing; the mortgagor meets the lender's appraisal and underwriting criteria; and the transfer is executed within 6 months from the sale of the previous principal residence of the mortgagor. The bill requires that, upon approval of mortgage porting, a lender must transfer the outstanding balance, interest rate and terms of the existing mortgage loan to the new mortgage loan and also requires that any additional funds needed to purchase the new principal residence must be financed at current market rates, although a lender must provide the option for a blended interest rate for the new mortgage loan. Dead
