An Act Regarding the First Judicial District and the District Court Locations in the Judicial Divisions of Androscoggin and Western Aroostook

Complete·6/25/25

This bill amends Maine's judicial district boundaries and court locations in Androscoggin and Western Aroostook.

This bill modifies the Maine Revised Statutes Annotated to redefine the First Judicial District, including Eastern Aroostook and Western Aroostook divisions. It mandates that the District Court for Androscoggin be held in Lewiston or Auburn, with the exact site determined by the Chief Judge. For Western Aroostook, the court must be held in Madawaska and Fort Kent. The bill also corrects a clerical error in the statute.
