An Act To Ensure The Workers' Compensation Board'S Allocations Are Properly Funded

This bill requires the Maine Workers' Compensation Board to approve its annual budget with a two-thirds majority vote from its members. The change applies to the standard budget approval process but does not alter the existing rule that allows a simple majority vote when deciding whether to use reserve funds. By raising the voting threshold, the legislation aims to ensure broader consensus before the board commits to its financial plan.
