Legislative update: L.D. 1665

This Monday (March 8th) the labor committee will hold its work session on L.D. 1665, out of this work session the committee will provide a report of either:

Ought to Pass

Ought to Pass as Amended

Ought to Pass in New Draft

Ought Not to Pass

Refer to Another Committee

Unanimous Ought Not to Pass

After this report the bill will go out to the body it originated in (in this case, the senate) for a floor vote. While the report of the labor committee is not binding, it is still a very influential vote and it is important the L.D. 1665 has a favorable report out of the labor committee.

That means that right now is a really important time for grass roots calls and action! It is more important than ever that our representatives know that Mainers overwhelmingly support this legislation. What’s the best way to make this message clear?

Email your elected officials and let them know you expect their support for L.D. 1665
