Elected Officials Training

Maine has enacted a law requiring elected public officials to receive training on the Freedom of Access Act (FOAA), commonly called the Right to Know Law. The FOAA requires public officials to make public records available to the public upon request.

Affected “officials” include elected trustees, directors and other overseers of water districts and municipal water departments. The requirement applies to all officials serving in office from July 1, 2008 onwards. For those currently holding office, this training must be completed and certified by November 1, 2008.

For specific information on the training requirements please see the following Maine State Government web pages:
