 AUGUSTA — A bill by Sen. Justin Chenette, D-Saco, would prohibit legislators from accepting donations from lobbyists, corporations and special interests. The bill — LD 413, “An Act To Limit the Influence of Lobbyists by Expanding the Prohibition on Accepting Political Contributions” — received a public hearing before the Veterans and Legal Affairs Committee on Monday. State law currently prohibits legislators from accepting donations from lobbyists, lobbyist associates or their employers during the legislative session. Sen. Chenette’s bill would extend that prohibition to the entire year, effectively banning all lobbyist contributions.
