LD 308 Maine House · 132nd Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act To Update The Laws Governing The Administration Of The Animal Welfare Advisory Council

This bill amends Maine's laws governing the Animal Welfare Advisory Council to allow the council to meet more frequently than the current requirement of every other month. It also permits the council chair to delegate tasks to individual members or subcommittees as needed. These changes aim to improve the council's operational flexibility and efficiency. The bill directly affects the council and its chair, with no changes to the council's advisory role or animal welfare responsibilities.
