Maine LD1929 aims to improve public utility service by addressing seasonal property hazards.
Maine LD1929 mandates that owners of seasonal residential dwellings conduct annual inspections to identify and address potential hazards. It requires public utilities to maintain contact information for caretakers and responsible persons for these properties, develop protocols for repairs that minimize disruptions to occupied dwellings, and conduct annual inspections of utility lines with a history of outages. The Public Utilities Commission must establish a statewide system for reporting hazards, conduct a public education campaign, and provide financial assistance to low-income owners.
