Summary — LD 110 (132nd Maine Legislature)

Title: An Act To Require Reporting On The Expenditure Of Opioid Settlement Funds By Certain Municipalities And County Governments
Sponsor: Rep. Brennan of Portland
Committee: Health and Human Services
Status: Signed by Governor (May 16, 2025)

Purpose

LD 110 requires certain municipalities and county governments that receive funds from opioid-related legal settlements to report how those funds are expended. The bill is intended to increase transparency and accountability in the local use of opioid settlement proceeds.

Key provisions (based on available documents)

  • Establishes a reporting requirement for municipalities and county governments that receive opioid settlement funds.
  • Reporting responsibilities are tied to the Department of the Attorney General (the fiscal notes identify the Attorney General’s office as the relevant state office for implementation/administration).
  • Committee Amendment "A" (H‑93) was adopted during the legislative process; the text of that amendment is not included in the provided materials.

Note: The legislative record provided contains the bill title and procedural history and fiscal notes but does not include the full statutory text or the specific reporting elements (for example: report content, frequency, deadlines, or submission format). For the exact statutory language and specific reporting requirements, consult the enrolled bill or the Maine Legislature’s website.

Who is affected

  • Municipal governments and county governments in Maine that receive opioid settlement funds (direct recipients or pass‑through recipients, as defined in the enacted text).
  • The Department of the Attorney General — which will have an administrative role related to receiving or processing reports — though the fiscal impact on that office is described as minimal.

Fiscal impact

  • Fiscal notes (approved 3/18/25, 4/22/25, and 5/7/25 for different versions) indicate a "minor cost increase" to the General Fund.
  • Any additional costs to the Department of the Attorney General are expected to be minor and can be absorbed within existing budgeted resources.

Legislative actions and timeline

  • Introduced: January 8, 2025; referred to Health and Human Services.
  • Work session and committee action: reported out OTP‑AM (with amendment) after work session (March–May 2025). Committee Amendment "A" (H‑93) adopted.
  • Passed both chambers: May 6–14, 2025 (passed to be enacted).
  • Signed by Governor: May 16, 2025.
