Joint Order, To Require The Legislative Council To Hold A Public Hearing On L.D. 1378, I.B. 2, An Act To Protect Maine Communities By Enacting The Extreme Risk Protection Order Act

This procedural bill (SP 790) directs Maine's Legislative Council to hold a public hearing on L.D. 1378, the "Extreme Risk Protection Order Act." It mandates the hearing occur before the First Special Session of the 132nd Legislature adjourns, as required by Maine law (Title 21-A, section 907). The order does not change policy but schedules a required public review of the substantive bill (L.D. 1378) that would establish Extreme Risk Protection Orders.
