Resolve, Directing The Department Of Economic And Community Development To Convene A Working Group To Review The Process Of Setting Impact Fees

LD 1246 directs Maine's Department of Economic and Community Development to form a working group by December 3, 2025, to study how municipalities set infrastructure fees (impact fees) under state law. The group must include municipal officials and developers with experience in infrastructure projects, reviewing current fee-setting processes, guidance documents, and fee documentation. The department will submit a report with recommendations and potential legislation to the Housing and Economic Development committee. This resolve directly affects municipalities establishing fees and developers paying them, focusing on streamlining the existing fee-setting system.
