An Act To Change The Statutory Adjournment Date For The Second Regular Session Of The Legislature
LD 216 changes the statutory adjournment date for Maine's second regular legislative session from the third Wednesday preceding Patriot's Day (the third Monday in April) to the Wednesday immediately before Patriot's Day. This shortens the session by approximately two weeks, requiring lawmakers to complete business earlier. The bill directly affects the Maine Legislature's schedule, specifically the timing for the second regular session. It is a procedural adjustment to the legislative calendar, not a substantive policy change.
