An Act To Establish A System Of Revenue Sharing For The Use And Management Of Coastal Resources

Summary

The bill would set a uniform fee and royalty schedule for commercial, industrial, and recreational activities that use Maine’s coastal resources, then split the revenue between the state and the communities most affected. A revenue‑sharing board made up of state agency, municipal and stakeholder representatives would oversee collection and distribution. The aim is to give local towns a direct financial benefit while supporting statewide economic growth.
