LD 2109 Maine Senate · 131st Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act To Maintain State Police Rural Patrol Services At 2020 Staffing Levels

This bill directs state funding to hire four State Police troopers specifically for rural patrol duties in Androscoggin County. The legislation allocates money from the General Fund and the Highway Fund to cover salaries and operational costs for these positions in the 2024-2025 fiscal year. By amending the original text, the bill narrows the scope of the appropriation to focus solely on this specific county rather than maintaining statewide staffing levels.
