Resolve, To Establish A Task Force To Create A Court Navigation Program Plan

LD 1965 creates a task force to develop a court navigation program plan for unrepresented court users in Maine. The task force, including representatives from legal aid, mental health organizations, universities, and state agencies, must design a program providing court process guidance and connecting people to community resources for mental health, housing, jobs, and other needs. The task force must submit its plan - including a recommended model and suggested legislation - to the Judiciary Committee by December 3, 2025. This resolution does not implement the program but establishes a planning process to address barriers faced by people navigating Maine's court system without legal representation.
