Maine LD1814 aims to increase transparency in state government by amending laws regarding persons attempting to influence the competitive bidding.

Maine LD1814 mandates that any person employed to influence the competitive bidding process must register with the Commission on Governmental Ethics and Election Practices. It requires these individuals to submit monthly reports detailing their activities, expenditures, and compensation. The commission is tasked with creating a publicly accessible website displaying this information. The bill also expands the definitions of "lobbying" and "grassroots lobbying" to include communications with the executive branch and constitutional officers.
