LD 1898 Maine House · 132nd Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act To Correct Outdated References Regarding The Maine Human Rights Act

LD 1898 updates outdated references in Maine's Human Rights Act to ensure consistency. It specifically replaces phrases like "former Title 39 or Title 39-A" with "Title 39-A" in the law's text. This is a technical correction to align the statute with current legal references, not a change to protections or definitions. The bill affects how the law is cited and interpreted by courts, employers, and employees but does not alter existing anti-discrimination protections.
