NATURAL RESOURCES COUNCIL OF MAINE • January 22, 2021
Lawmakers have proposed 1,689 bills for the Maine Legislature to consider. NRCM has identified more than 280 that are of potential interest—including 120 that address climate and energy issues. Many bills would begin to implement key strategies in Maine’s new Climate Action Plan, especially in clean energy and weatherization. Together with our friends and partners in the Environmental Priorities Coalition (EPC), we’ve also identified a “Common Agenda” of priority bills that will advance climate action, accelerate our transition to clean energy, reduce pollution, and protect Maine’s woods, waters, and wildlife.
