Rep. Randall Greenwood

Maddy summaryThis bill (LD 594) requires Maine's State Auditor to conduct comprehensive audits of all state agencies and compile a detailed report for each. The report must include current and historical data on employee counts (including new hires over 5-20 years), budget figures (current, projected, and growth), agency roles and responsibilities, project scopes (current, completed, and incomplete over time), and each agency's budget percentage of the total state biennial budget. The State Auditor must submit this report to the Legislature's appropriations committee by November 4, 2026. The bill directly affects all state agencies by mandating transparency in their staffing and financial operations.

Maddy summaryThis bill proposes a referendum asking Kennebec County voters to approve increasing the number of county commissioner districts from 3 to 5. If approved by a majority in the November 2026 election, it would require the county to form a commission to create new district maps and establish staggered terms (two 2-year terms and three 4-year terms) for the commissioners. The new district boundaries and election schedule would be finalized by January 2027, with the first elections for the expanded board held in November 2028. The change would directly affect Kennebec County residents and its local governance structure.

Maddy summaryThis bill would change Maine's vehicle inspection requirement from an annual check to a biennial (every two years) inspection for all vehicles registered in the state. Currently, vehicle owners must get an inspection each year, but this bill would extend the interval to every two years. The change applies to every registered vehicle, including those in Cumberland County that previously had separate enhanced inspection rules. The bill does not alter the specific inspection criteria, only the frequency of required checks.

Maddy summaryThis bill (LD 1581) adds a requirement for veterans to qualify for Maine's motor vehicle excise tax exemption: the veteran's name must appear on the vehicle's certificate of title. It directly affects veterans who are disabled due to military service and receive U.S. government disability compensation, or those granted free vehicle registration by the Secretary of State. The key provision clarifies that for vehicles with multiple owners, at least one owner named on the title must meet the veteran eligibility criteria. This change does not alter who qualifies for the exemption but specifies the documentation needed to claim it. The bill amends existing law to enforce this title requirement for tax exemption eligibility.

Maddy summaryThis bill requires Maine driver's licenses and nondriver ID cards to display whether the holder is a U.S. citizen, a noncitizen, or an asylum seeker. It directly affects all license and ID card holders in Maine by adding this citizenship status designation to their existing identification. The key provision amends state law to mandate this information appear on all new and renewed licenses, replacing current requirements with a clear status indicator. The bill does not change eligibility for licenses but adds a standardized classification to identification documents.

Maddy summaryThis bill clarifies that the State Auditor has authority to classify, title, and set compensation for employees in the Office of the State Auditor as they determine appropriate. It directly affects auditors, assistants, and other staff working within the State Auditor's office. The key provision explicitly states these employment decisions rest with the State Auditor without requiring additional legislative approval, while maintaining that employees remain subject to the Civil Service Law. The bill does not alter the office's core responsibilities or organizational structure.

Maddy summaryThis resolution proposes a constitutional amendment requiring Maine's Governor to wait 90 days after the Legislature adjourns without setting a return date before convening a special session. Currently, the Constitution allows the Governor to call the Legislature at any time on extraordinary occasions, but this amendment would add a specific 90-day waiting period for adjournments without a specified return date. The amendment must be approved by voters in a statewide referendum held in November of the year following the resolution's passage to take effect. If approved, it would change how the Governor and Legislature interact during special session calls.

Maddy summaryLD 1057 creates a one-year moratorium preventing Maine's Department of Agriculture from requiring municipalities to use PetPoint software for electronic dog licensing. It allows these municipalities to continue using alternative methods for issuing licenses during this period. The bill also directs the department to form a user group with municipal clerks, animal control officers, and licensing agents to help transition to a data management platform. This applies specifically to towns participating in the electronic licensing program under Maine law (Title 7, section 3923-G). The emergency designation aims to address implementation challenges with the state's new system.

Maddy summaryMaine's SP 10 is a joint resolution applying to Congress under Article V of the U.S. Constitution to call two separate conventions. It seeks to establish term limits for U.S. Congress members (House and Senate) and staggered 18-year term limits for Supreme Court justices. The resolution does not create new laws but joins other states' applications to reach the required two-thirds of states (34) to compel Congress to convene these specific conventions. It emphasizes that Maine's application is procedural and does not commit the state to supporting any proposed amendments. This is a formal step toward potentially proposing constitutional amendments, not a direct policy change.

Maddy summaryThis bill expands Maine's state group health plan eligibility to include employees and members of the Maine Association for the Education of Young Children (MAEYC) and any successor organization. It achieves this by amending state law (5 MRSA §285) to add a new eligibility category under the group health plan. The change directly affects MAEYC employees and members, who will now qualify for the state health plan for the first time. The bill does not alter existing eligibility for other groups, such as employees of approved academies or retired law enforcement officers.
