An Act To Extend The Maine Lobster Marketing Collaborative To December 31, 2031

This bill extends the Maine Lobster Marketing Collaborative's operation from its original end date of December 31, 2031, to December 31, 2028. The legislation also establishes that collaborative members will serve staggered three-year terms with a limit of two consecutive terms, and requires the Department of Marine Resources to submit a report to the Legislature by January 1, 2028, detailing the collaborative's work in 2026 and 2027. These changes affect the management structure and oversight of the collaborative, which works to promote Maine's lobster industry.
