| LD535 | Protecting access to gender-affirming care for some Maine teens | Enactment RC #347 | 06/27/2023 | 3 | Yea |
This bill allows some Mainers between the ages of 16 and 18 to access needed, non-surgical gender-affirming health care without parental consent or legally emancipating themselves from their parents, under specific circumstances. The patient must have been diagnosed with gender dysphoria by a healthcare professional and be likely to experience harm if they don't receive care. This bill passed in the House and Senate and Gov. Mills signed it into law.

| LD1337 | Tracking rich corporations' taxable income and how much they're paying | Acc Maj Otp As Amended Rep RC #439 | 03/28/2024 | 3 | Yea |
Because rich corporations that operate in Maine should pay what they owe to help our state thrive, and they often don’t, LD 1337 tracks how many of these companies either paid no state income taxes or received a tax refund, and how many companies’ taxable income exceeded $50 million. The Mills administration and business lobbyists fought the bill, but it was amended to exclude company names and only include aggregate data and passed both chambers. It became law without Gov. Mills' signature.

| LD1779 | Reforming our juvenile carceral system | Enactment RC #452 | 04/02/2024 | 3 | Absent |
Evidence shows that incarcerating kids doesn’t “help” them thrive and become contributing members of society, or improve public safety. LD 1779 would start planning to reinvest Long Creek’s budget into evidence-based care including community-based alternatives to incarceration. It also mandates a workforce development plan for all current Long Creek employees. This bill passed both houses but Gov. Mills carried it over to a special session that has not taken place, effectively killing it.

| LD1829 | Keeping prescription drugs affordable | Acc Maj Otp As Amended Rep RC #435 | 03/28/2024 | 3 | Yea |
This bill aims to address increasing health care and prescription drug prices by regulating the price of prescription drugs, ensuring that their cost does not exceed a maximum rate determined by the federal Medicare program. The bill makes clear that any savings must be used to reduce costs to consumers. The bill passed in both houses but died on the table.

| LD2007 | Taking a step closer to acknowledging Wabanaki sovereignty, on criminal jurisdiction, drinking water and land regulations | Report A Ought To Pass Am RC #454 | 04/02/2024 | 3 | Absent |
The final, scaled-down version of LD 2007 implements several criminal justice recommendations of the 2019 task force on changes to the 1980 Maine Indian Claims Settlement Act and addresses critical land and drinking water regulations. These are vital steps towards undoing that law’s unjust restrictions. LD 2007 passed and was signed into law.
