First Legislative Update of 2024 - 2nd Session, February 1
Manage episode 399415492 series 3370889
Much delayed first legislative breakdown of the second session has dropped. This week we only go over what has happened for the First week of February though staff has been underwater with carryover initiatives during the entire month of January.
We very much hope the Legislature will adjourn mid-April as planned but until then, the proposed legislation is painful thus far. To that end we encourage you to subscribe to the Legislative Bulletin and pay attention to calls for action. The initiatives discussed this week are:
General Assistance bills LD 1664 (not the amended fiscal note) & LD 1732 (also not the amended version) both sponsored by Rep. Michele Meyer of Eliot.
Under Taxation: Rep. Tiffany Stout of Harrington's bill to create a local option fee LD 1893.
Under Criminal Justice and Public Safety, LD 2094, sponsored by Pres. Troy Jackson of Aroostook, LD 2109, sponsored by Rep. Jeffrey Timberlake of Androscoggin
Under Housing, LD 337, sponsored by Rep. Cheryl Golek of Harpswell, LD 2138 sponsored by Rep. Colleen Madigan of Waterville, LD 2136, sponsored by Rep. Anne-Marie Mastraccio of Sanford.
Franchise Agreements and Cable Utility Legislation LD 1967, sponsored by Rep. Melanie Sachs of Freeport.
And last but not chronically least...Cannabis Legislation LD 1952 sponsored by Rep. David Boyer of Poland, LD 1914 sponsored by Sen. Donna Bailey of York
