On March 5, 2021, Governor Janet Mills issued Executive Order 35 (FY 20/21) in an effort to prepare Maine’s economy for the upcoming tourism season while also seeking to protect the health and safety of Maine’s residents. The new “Moving Maine Forward Plan” maintains health and safety protocols currently in place, while easing capacity limits on businesses to support economic activity. The plan also eases the test or quarantine requirement for out-of-state visitors. An overview of the Moving Maine Forward Plan follows.
