summary
The amendment, which is the minority report of the committee, replaces the bill. It requires the Maine Innovation Economy Advisory Board to render scientific assessment on questions of science posed by the Governor or any joint standing committee of the Legislature with a question related to proposed legislation rather than establishing the Maine Science Advisory Board. The Maine Innovation Economy Advisory Board would review and summarize scientific studies related to questions, may include outside experts and must include a public comment period before issuing a finding. A member with a conflict of interest in a matter before the advisory board must be recused from any discussion of the subject.
