ROBERT B. HUNT
Clerk
Presented by Representative COOPER of Yarmouth.
Cosponsored by Senator DESCHAMBAULT of York and
Representative: BEEBE-CENTER of Rockland, Senator: CARPENTER of Aroostook.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows:
Sec. 1.  36 MRSA §5219-KK, sub-§2-A, as enacted by PL 2017, c. 474, Pt. B, 
§16, is amended to read:
2-A.  Credit in 2018 and 2019.  For tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2018 
and before January 1, 2020, a resident individual is allowed a credit against the taxes 
imposed under this Part equal to the amount by which the benefit base for the resident 
individual exceeds 6% of the resident individual's income. The credit may not exceed 
$750 for resident individuals under 65 years of age as of the last day of the taxable year 
or $1,200 for resident individuals 65 years of age and older as of the last day of the 
taxable year. In the case of married individuals filing a joint return, only one spouse is 
required to be 65 years of age or older to qualify for the $1,200 credit limitation. Married 
taxpayers filing separate returns do not qualify for the credit under this section.
Sec. 2.  36 MRSA §5219-KK, sub-§2-B is enacted to read:
2-B.  Credit in 2020 and after.  For tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2020, 
a resident individual is allowed a credit against the taxes imposed under this Part equal to 
the amount by which the benefit base for the resident individual exceeds 5% of the 
resident individual's income. The credit may not exceed $750 for resident individuals 
under 65 years of age as of the last day of the taxable year or $1,200 for resident 
individuals 65 years of age and older as of the last day of the taxable year. In the case of 
married individuals filing a joint return, only one spouse is required to be 65 years of age 
or older to qualify for the $1,200 credit limitation. Married taxpayers filing separate 
returns do not qualify for the credit under this section.
SUMMARY
This bill changes the formula for calculation of the property tax fairness credit to 
expand the credit to residents whose property taxes or rent constituting property taxes on 
homestead property exceeds 5%, rather than 6% in current law, of the residents' income 
for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2020.

CONCEPT DRAFT
SUMMARY
This bill is a concept draft pursuant to Joint Rule 208.
This bill proposes to enact measures to ensure accurate tracking of the origin and type 
of waste materials disposed of in Maine, to discourage landfilling of recyclable materials, 
to preserve landfill capacity at state-owned facilities for Maine-generated materials, and 
to ensure the rights of host communities and abutters of waste disposal facilities. In order 
to achieve these goals, the bill proposes to:
1.  Ensure there is accurate tracking and record keeping identifying the origin, 
amounts and types of materials disposed in waste facilities in the State;
2.  Ensure waste is effectively tracked from generation point through processing to 
final disposal point, including the following types of facilities and disposal sites where 
tracking is required: landfills; landfill leachate discharge sites; incinerator ash and slag 
disposal sites; and biosolids disposal sites;
3.  Ensure that waste materials imported from outside the State that are processed at 
facilities in the State are not classified as Maine-generated waste;
4.  Ensure that waste materials that end up in a landfill, such as construction and 
demolition debris, which are used for daily cover in a landfill, are not counted toward the 
State's recycling goals;
5.  Ensure adequate legal standing and strengthen protections for the health and well-
being of people living in close proximity to waste disposal facilities;
6.  Strengthen conflict-of-interest protections in awarding and management and 
oversight of state waste contracts to prevent price fixing and market manipulation; and
7.  Direct the Department of Environmental Protection to amend rule Chapter 400, 
Maine Solid Waste Management Rules to:
A.  Amend the definition of "bypass" to limit the waste that is considered bypass to 
solid waste that cannot be disposed of, processed or beneficially used at that facility 
because of malfunction, insufficient capacity, downtime or inability of the facility to 
process or burn;
B.  Amend the definition of "recycle" and "recycling" to add a provision that any 
material left at a landfill is not considered recycled; and
C.  Define "Maine-generated waste" as solid waste that is discarded for the first time 
within the physical confines of the State.

section 1717, subsection 1, paragraph A-3, that is no less than 125% of the minimum 
wage established in Title 26, section 664, subsection 1.  The department shall, at least

must provide for public comment.  This section applies to all funds, including federal 
funds, paid by any agency of the State to a provider for care covered by the waiver.

Fiscal Note 
Redistribution of state subsidy - Local school administrative units 
This legislation repeals the section of cmTent law tha~ requires the per-pupil allocation for system administration 
beginning in fiscal year 2020-21 be detennined by the Commissioner of Education based on a review by a statewide 
education policy research institute and allocated to only those school administrative units (SAU's) that have 
established regionalized administrative services. Instead, it sets the allocation at $135 per pupil for all SAU's. 
Changing the way in which the allocation for system administration is to be distributed beginning in fiscal year 2020-
will result in a redistribution of state subsidy, with some SAU's receiving more subsidy than would have been 
received absent this legislation and some SAU's receiving less. The impact to individual SAU's can not be determined.

established regionalized administrative services.  This bill instead establishes the system 
administration allocation at $135 per pupil, the same as it was for fiscal year 2017-18,

restrict allocation of portions of the funds to school administrative units that have
