LD 1981 Maine Senate · 131st Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act To Extend And Expand The Loring Job Increment Financing Fund

This bill amends an existing law to increase the amount of state employment tax revenue deposited into the Loring Job Increment Financing Fund from 50% to 100%. The change directly affects the State Tax Assessor, who will now be required to transfer the full value of the tax increment to the fund rather than splitting it. The legislation aims to provide more financial resources to the Loring area, which is located in Aroostook County, to support job creation initiatives.
