Joint Order, To Recall Legislative Document 1965 From The Governor'S Desk
This bill directs the Maine Senate to recall a previously passed resolution from the Governor's desk and return it to the Senate chamber. The resolution in question would have created a task force to develop a plan for a court navigation program to help people navigate the legal system. By recalling the document, the Senate is preventing the Governor from signing it into law at this time. This procedural action affects only the legislative process and does not implement any new policies or programs.
