Legislation
I was proud to sponsor LD
240, An Act to Ensure that Maine's Unemployment System is Responsive
to the Needs of Today's Workforce, a bill that allows part-time
workers to be eligible for unemployment benefits. This is especially
important for elderly people and others who face serious economic
hardship when they lose their part-time jobs and have not been eligible
until now for unemployment compensation. The law goes into effect
Jan. 1, 2004. Click on the buttons below to see all bills and joint resolutions

district and throughout the state.
