An Act Regarding Enforcement of the Annual Reporting Requirement of the Laws Governing Unclaimed Beverage Container Deposits

Became law

This already passed. Here's what you can still do.

1. Push for repeal or amendment

Legislative staff still count constituent contacts on enacted laws. A steady mail stream is what gets a bill onto the next session's repeal docket. Pick “Oppose” below and the message will frame the ask around repeal, amendment, or enforcement relief.

3. Tell people the bill affects

Most people don't hear about a state-level bill until enforcement starts. A short note now (not a thread, just a link) gives the people most affected time to plan.

Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill changes how unclaimed money from beverage container deposits is used in Maine. Starting in 2026, a portion of these funds will go to the Lake Water Quality Restoration and Protection Fund, the Maine Working Farmland Access and Protection Program, and to support staffing for public defender offices. This means more money will be directed to environmental protection, farmland preservation, and legal aid services.
