Failed·5/20/25
Tpdf Text

This bill allows forestry and migrant farm workers to obtain temporary Maine driver's licenses for transporting workers to and from job sites.

This bill enables forestry workers and migrant and seasonal farm workers to receive temporary Maine driver's licenses if they meet federal driver qualifications and hold a valid or recently expired license from their home country. These temporary licenses, considered Class B, are valid only for driving workers between lodgings and work sites each day at no cost to the workers. The bill specifies that the licenses are not for general use but strictly for the transportation of workers.
