An Act To Increase The Annual Cap On Funds Assessed For The Safety Education And Training Fund

This bill increases the annual funding cap for Maine's Safety Education and Training Fund to $2,230,000 for the 2026-27 fiscal year. It allocates these funds specifically to the Department of Labor for safety education and training programs. These programs directly support employers, employees, owners, educators, and students across various workplaces. The change modifies the fund's budget structure without altering eligibility or program requirements.
