An Act To Update The Laws Governing The Geographic Boundaries Between Certain Judicial Divisions In Aroostook County
This bill updates Maine state law to permanently define the geographic boundaries between the Western and Eastern Aroostook judicial divisions in Aroostook County. It codifies the specific municipalities and unorganized territories assigned to each division, which were previously established by the Chief Judge following the closure of the Madawaska District Court on November 1, 2025. The legislation ensures that residents in these areas continue to be served by either the Fort Kent or Caribou District Courts based on their location.
