LD 642 Maine House · 132nd Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act To Provide Students In The University Of Maine System Who Are Parents Or Pregnant Individuals Priority Registration For Courses

LD 642 requires the University of Maine System to give enrolled parents or pregnant students priority in course registration to help them schedule classes around child care needs. The bill mandates that university trustees distribute informational flyers and posters about this priority to all students, with posters displayed in campus locations and on each campus website. This policy directly affects parents and pregnant individuals enrolled in the University of Maine System's colleges and universities. The law creates a concrete administrative requirement for the university system to implement and communicate this registration priority.
