LD 17 Maine Senate · 132nd Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act To Designate The Warden Of The Maine State Prison As Chief Administrative Officer Of The Bolduc Correctional Facility

This bill designates the warden of Maine State Prison as the chief administrative officer for the Bolduc Correctional Facility, meaning the same person leading Maine State Prison will now oversee Bolduc. It removes the existing provision allowing Bolduc to appoint an assistant director. The bill also clarifies that deputy wardens appointed by the warden will assume responsibilities when the warden is absent or unable to perform duties, regardless of location. This change streamlines leadership structure and clarifies operational authority for both facilities.
