Resolve, To Study The Delivery Of Emergency Medical Services To And Ferry Service Effects On Island Communities In The State

This Maine legislative resolve (LD 841) directs the Maine Office of Community Affairs to form a working group to study how emergency medical services are delivered to island communities and how ferry services impact those communities. The working group must include representatives from island communities (both served and not served by the state ferry system), emergency medical services, the Department of Transportation, and local governments. The group must submit a report with findings and recommendations by December 3, 2025, to the Joint Standing Committee on Criminal Justice and Public Safety, which may propose legislation based on the study. This is a study resolution with no immediate policy changes; it aims to inform future legislative action.
