This bill
requires the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) to investigate whether
there have been any instances in the state where the University of Maine
System, the Maine Community College System or the Maine Maritime Academy has
violated or restricted a student’s free speech rights. The bill also requires
the OAG to determine if any additional protections are necessary under state
law and report to the Joint Standing Committee on Judiciary by January 1,
2020. The OAG has indicated it requires an additional position to meet these
requirements. The bill includes one limited- period Assistant Attorney
General position and provides General Fund appropriations of $43,100 in
fiscal year 2019-20. |
