An Act To Provide Staffing For Ongoing Study Commissions During Legislative Sessions

This bill allocates state funds to hire three new staff members within the Office of Policy and Legal Analysis to assist the Maine Legislature. Two of these positions will support the office's general operations, while the third is specifically designated to provide year-round staffing for study commissions that continue working during legislative sessions. The legislation authorizes personal services and other expenses for these roles in the 2023-24 and 2024-25 fiscal years, totaling approximately $269,003 for the first year and $358,594 for the second.
