The 132nd Legislature started the legislative session on December 4, 2024, and is expected to run through the spring of 2025. We are in Augusta daily, working with lawmakers and ally organizations to protect and defend the civil rights and liberties of all people in Maine.
Lawmakers are still developing bills and we are evaluating how they may affect Mainers' civil rights and liberties. This page will be updated soon with more information about our top priorities, ranging from data privacy and criminal legal reform to abortion access and free speech.
