This week, the Legislature’s Innovation, Development, Economic Advancement, and Business (IDEA) committee held a public hearing on LD 1923, An Act To Establish the Maine Space Corporation. This bill was introduced by Sen. Mattie Daughtry (D-Cumberland) and had a list of bipartisan cosponsors. This bill establishes the Maine Space Corporation to leverage the state's geographic, rocketry, manufacturing, and higher education assets and capabilities to establish the state as a national and international industry destination and an authority in launching small launch vehicles and small satellites into polar orbit.

On Monday, the Environment and Natural Resources (ENR) committee moved forward with LD 1429, An Act To Achieve Carbon Neutrality by 2045. The ENR committee voted 10-3 “ought to pass as amended,” sending it forward to the full Legislature. LD 1429 was carried over from the first session; however, the original draft of LD 1429 was completely different in language and in title – “An Act To Implement the Most Time-Sensitive Recommendations of the Maine Climate Council.”
