Maine LD268 seeks to restore sentencing discretion by removing mandatory minimum sentences of incarceration.
Maine LD268 directs the Criminal Law Advisory Commission to review the Maine Revised Statutes and compile a list of all provisions that require a court to impose a mandatory term of imprisonment. The commission must submit a report by December 3, 2025 to the Joint Standing Committee on Criminal Justice and Public Safety, listing all such provisions and proposing language to change them into maximum terms of imprisonment. After reviewing the report, the committee may introduce related legislation to the Second Regular Session of the 132nd Legislature.
