An Act To Authorize A General Fund Bond Issue To Fund Wastewater Treatment Facility Planning And Construction Of Infrastructure Projects

LD 25 authorizes Maine to issue up to $50 million in state bonds to fund grants for municipalities, quasi-municipal entities, and unorganized townships. The funds will specifically support wastewater treatment facility planning and construction projects focused on managing and disposing of wastewater sludge or biosolids. The bond issue requires voter approval through a statewide referendum, with the question asking whether to accept the $50 million bond for these grants. If approved, the funds must be spent within 10 years for the designated infrastructure projects, with unspent balances lapsing to retire other state bonds.
