LD 1107 Maine House · 132nd Legislature (2025-2026)

Act To Create A Working Group To Support Tax Expenditure Evaluation Efforts

This bill creates a working group to support the state's evaluation of tax expenditures (government spending through tax breaks instead of direct funding). The group will be tasked with assisting state agencies in analyzing the effectiveness and cost of these tax programs. As a procedural measure, it does not change tax laws but establishes a mechanism for future review. The bill directly affects state tax officials and the legislative process for budget oversight.
