Fiscal Note
Corrects unintentional repeal - Maine Lobster Marketing Collaborative
Fiscal Detail and Notes
The Maine Lobster Marketing Collaborative was unintentionally repealed on October 1, 2021 because the legislation to postpone that repeal (LD 338) was not effective until October 18, 2021. This bill  reestablishes the collaborative and is retroactive back to October 1, 2021. As the allocations related to the collaborative were never deallocated by legislation and still exist in the accounting system, no additional allocations are required now to allow the collaborative to continue to function. The new repeal date is set at December 31, 2026.
