AUGUSTA The Maine Legislature’s Joint Standing Committee on Innovation, Development, Economic Advancement and Business unanimously passed last week LD 1551, An Act To Ban the Sale of Cosmetics That Have Been Tested on Animals.
LD 1551, introduced by Representative Vicki Doudera, D-Camden, prohibits manufacturers from selling or offering to sell cosmetics in Maine that are developed or manufactured using animal testing.
