Governor Janet Mills has signed into law LD 210, the budget bill enacted by the Legislature on June 18 to fund programs and activities of State government over the next biennium.
LD 210 will take effect 90 days after the adjournment of this legislative session.
The Governor issued the following statement:
Earlier this year, I proposed a balanced, fiscally responsible budget that prioritized keeping the State’s key promises to Maine people. At the same time, with so much uncertainty coming from Washington, and so much uncertainty in our economy, maintaining fiscal restraint has never been more important. The budget bill enacted by the Legislature, like all lawmaking, is the product of various tradeoffs and compromises. Although I might not agree with every single provision, I appreciate the diligence and hard work of the Appropriations Committee to produce this bill, which makes important investments in Maine families, children, and seniors, our higher education institutions, housing, and more.
