LD 2143 Maine Senate · 132nd Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act Facilitating The Reconstruction Or Replacement Of Storm-Damaged Commercial Fisheries Facilities And Infrastructure

This bill is a procedural amendment that removes the emergency preamble and emergency clause from a related act concerning storm-damaged commercial fisheries facilities. It does not change the substantive policy of the original legislation, which would have provided funding for rebuilding fishing infrastructure after storms. The amendment ensures the bill follows standard legislative procedures without the expedited timeline associated with emergency measures.
