AUGUSTA — A bill from Senator David Miramant, D-Camden, to extend funding for the Maine Lobster Marketing Collaborative was signed into law May 5 by Governor Janet Mills after receiving bipartisan support in the Legislature.
LD 338, “An Act to Amend the Law Governing the Maine Lobster Marketing Collaborative,” promotes the Maine lobster industry and allows the surcharges to licenses to remain the same.
“Lobstering is an important part of our culture and economy, specifically tourist and hospitality industries,” said Sen. Miramant. “The Maine Lobster Marketing Collaborative, or MLMC, advertises our lobster and the increase in demand for Maine lobster. The lobster industry and MLMC work hand in hand to support Maine’s economy. I proudly sponsored this legislation so they can continue their good work.”
