This bill
prohibits the sale of certain appliances in Maine on or after January 1, 2023
that have been prohibited from sale in California under its appliance
efficiency regulations. The bill authorizes the Department of Environmental
Protection to create the prohibition program, enforce the prohibition and to
enter into an agreement with the Efficiency Maine Trust to provide technical
assistance to educate customers and businesses regarding the prohibition
program. The DEP has indicated that to fulfill the prohibition program
requirements it would require additional staff resources. The bill includes
General Fund appropriations of $90,080 in fiscal year 2022-23 for one
Environmental Specialist III position and associated costs. |
