Resolve, To Study And Oversee Water In The State Of Maine

LD 757 establishes a 17-member commission to study Maine's water resources and develop recommendations for future policy. The commission, appointed by legislative leaders and state officials, will review water data systems, drought planning, groundwater rights, contamination risks (like PFAS), and state agency oversight. It must submit a report by December 3, 2025, with findings and suggested legislation to ensure clean, safe drinking water for residents and support for agricultural and business water needs. This study directly affects how Maine manages its water resources but does not create new laws.
