LD 741 Maine Senate · 131st Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act To Prohibit Training Repayment Agreements By Employers

This amendment modifies a bill that would have banned employers in Maine from requiring employees to repay training costs. Specifically, it removes the section of the bill that outlined how to fund and allocate money for this prohibition. As a result, the amendment does not change the core rule against training repayment agreements but eliminates the financial provisions attached to it.
