| The bill removes the office directors within the Department of |
Economic and Community Development as major policy-influencing |
positions and adds that the Director of the Office of Innovation |
serves as the State Science Advisor. It removes a representative |
from the department as a nonvoting member from the allocation |
committee for determining the private activity bond ceiling. It |
also establishes the Small Enterprise Growth Board as a corporate |
entity. Finally, the bill repeals the language requiring the |
department to develop and implement a marketing campaign to attract |
and retain youth in Maine. |
