An Act To Support The Northern New England Poison Center
LD 689 appropriates $335,000 annually from the General Fund to the Northern New England Poison Center for fiscal years 2025-26 and 2026-27. This funding ensures the center can continue providing 24-hour medical advice and information about potentially harmful substances to Maine residents. The bill directly supports the poison center’s operations, enabling it to maintain emergency services for people exposed to toxins or poisons. It does not create new regulations but secures ongoing access to a critical public health resource.
