Joint Order To Recall Legislative Document 1917 From The Governor'S Desk

This procedural order recalls a previously passed bill from the Governor's desk back to the Maine House of Representatives. The recalled legislation, originally titled "An Act to Allow the Sealing of Criminal History Record Information Related to Convictions for Conduct That Is No Longer a Crime in the State," would have allowed individuals to seal records for acts that are no longer illegal. By recalling the bill, the legislature retains control over the measure rather than allowing it to become law or be vetoed by the executive.
