Emergency preamble. Whereas, acts and resolves of the Legislature do not 
become effective until 90 days after adjournment unless enacted as emergencies; and
Whereas, currently, trailers that are manufactured and purchased in Maine and 
transported out of the State are subject to the sales and use tax; and
Whereas, this places manufacturers of trailers at a disadvantage with manufacturers 
of trailers in other states that do not impose a sales tax on trailers; and
Whereas, in order to avoid continuing this inequity any longer, it is important that 
this legislation take effect as soon as possible; and 
Whereas, in the judgment of the Legislature, these facts create an emergency within 
the meaning of the Constitution of Maine and require the following legislation as 
immediately necessary for the preservation of the public peace, health and safety; now, 
therefore,
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows:
Sec. 1.  36 MRSA §1760, sub-§23-C, ¶C, as amended by PL 2011, c. 380, Pt. 
GGGG, §1, is further amended to read:
C.  Aircraft, if the property is an aircraft not exempted under subsection 88-A; and
Sec. 2.  36 MRSA §1760, sub-§23-C, ¶E, as amended by PL 2015, c. 300, Pt. A, 
§17, is further amended to read:
E.  Camper trailers, including truck campers, other than those that are being leased 
for a period of less than one year.; and
Sec. 3.  36 MRSA §1760, sub-§23-C, ¶F is enacted to read:
F.  Trailers.  For purposes of this paragraph, "trailer" does not include a camper 
trailer.
Emergency clause.  In view of the emergency cited in the preamble, this 
legislation takes effect when approved.
SUMMARY
This bill provides an exemption from the sales and use tax for trailers that are 
purchased in the State but then driven or transported outside the State immediately upon 
delivery.  The exemption excludes camper trailers, which are included in the definition of 
"trailer," since a similar exemption already exists for camper trailers, other than those that 
are being leased for a period of less than one year.

Fiscal Detail and Notes 
Although no immediate unfunded liability is created by the provisions of this bill, excluding salary or wage increases 
obtained as a result of collective bargaining or a job promotion from the cap on earnings used in the calculation of a 
member's average final compensation when determining a member's retirement benefit may result in increased future 
pension costs to the Maine Public Employees Retirement System if the earnings used in the calculation of retirement 
benefits because of this bill exceed the earnings assumptions used to estimate pension costs. The impact can not be 
determined at this time and will depend on actual experience.

An Act To Prevent Discrimination under the Maine Workers' 
Compensation Act of 1992
Reference to the Committee on Labor and Housing suggested and ordered printed.
DAREK M. GRANT
Secretary of the Senate
Presented by President JACKSON of Aroostook.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows:
Sec. 1.  39-A MRSA §353, first ¶, as amended by PL 2015, c. 297, §20, is further 
amended to read:
An employee may not be discriminated against by any employer in any way for 
testifying or asserting any claim or right under this Act.  It is a violation of this section if 
the fact that an employee testifies or asserts a claim or right under this Act against an 
employer constitutes any portion of the basis upon which an employer disciplines or 
terminates the employee or discriminates against the employee in any way.  Any 
employee who is so discriminated against may file a petition alleging a violation of this 
section.  The matter must be referred to an administrative law judge for a formal hearing 
under section 315, but any administrative law judge who has previously rendered any 
decision concerning the claim must be excluded.  If the employee prevails at this hearing, 
the administrative law judge may award the employee reinstatement to the employee's 
previous job, payment of back wages, reestablishment of employee benefits and 
reasonable attorney's fees.
SUMMARY
Current law provides that an employer may not discriminate against an employee for 
asserting a workers' compensation claim.  In Maietta v. Town of Scarborough, 2004 ME 
97, 854 A.2d 223, the Law Court interpreted this provision as prohibiting discrimination 
against an employee only if the assertion of the workers' compensation claim was the 
primary basis or cause for the employer's adverse action against the employee. This bill 
amends the law to specify that if an employee's assertion of a workers' compensation 
claim or right constitutes any part of the basis upon which an employer decides to 
discipline or terminate an employee, it is a violation of the prohibition.

Reference to the Committee on Labor and Housing suggested and ordered printed.
DAREK M. GRANT
Secretary of the Senate
Presented by President JACKSON of Aroostook.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows:
Sec. 1.  39-A MRSA §213, sub-§1, ¶B, as amended by PL 2015, c. 297, §8, is 
further amended to read:
B.  If the injured employee's date of injury is on or after January 1, 2013, the weekly 
compensation is equal to 2/3 of the difference, due to the injury, between the 
employee's average gross weekly wages, earnings or salary before the injury and the 
average gross weekly wages, earnings or salary that the employee is able to earn after 
the injury, but not more than the maximum benefit under section 211.  An employee 
is not eligible to receive compensation under this paragraph after the employee has 
received a total of 520 weeks of compensation under section 212, subsection 1-A, this 
paragraph or both.  The board may in the exercise of its discretion extend the duration 
of benefit entitlement beyond 520 weeks in cases involving extreme financial 
hardship due to inability to return to gainful employment.  This authority may be 
delegated by the board, on a case-by-case basis, to an administrative law judge or a 
panel of 3 administrative law judges.  The board, administrative law judge or panel 
shall make a decision under this paragraph expeditiously.  A decision under this 
paragraph made by an administrative law judge or a panel of 3 administrative law 
judges may not be appealed to the board under section 320, but may be appealed 
pursuant to section 321-A.
Orders extending benefits beyond 520 weeks are not subject to review more often 
than every 2 years from the date of the board order or request allowing an extension.
Sec. 2.  39-A MRSA §213, sub-§1-B, as enacted by PL 2011, c. 647, §8, is 
repealed.
SUMMARY
Current law limits to 520 weeks the duration of workers' compensation benefits for 
partial incapacity due to injuries occurring on or after January 1, 2013.  This bill removes 
that durational cap.
