Maine LD1869 would allow municipalities to impose a local option sales tax of up to 1% on sales of adult use cannabis and cannabis products. The revenue from this tax would be limited to funding public safety and education initiatives.

The tax revenue would be held in a special account and could not be used to reduce funding for other state aid programs.
