An Act To Eliminate Inactive Boards And Commissions

Maine LD 2228 eliminates fifteen state boards and commissions that either failed to file required annual reports or reported being inactive during both 2024 and 2025. The bill repeals the specific statutory provisions that created these entities, which include bodies such as the Board of Respiratory Care Practitioners and the Marine Resources Advisory Council. By removing these groups from state law, the legislation directly affects the administrative structure of the state government by dissolving these inactive oversight and advisory bodies. A final provision requires the Revisor of Statutes to update legal cross-references in future sessions to ensure the remaining statutes remain consistent with these deletions.
