Resolve, To Improve Air Quality And Ventilation In Newly Constructed Schools

LD 1887 requires Maine's Department of Education to amend school construction rules to set air quality and ventilation standards specifically for newly built public schools. This replaces a prior requirement that applied to all public schools, focusing the new standards solely on new construction (not existing schools). The updated rules must be adopted by January 4, 2026, and will apply to all new public school buildings completed between July 1, 2022, and July 1, 2026.
