Granting the City Clerk Authority to Sign License Renewals under Title 28-A, Part 3 of the Maine Revised
Statutes
On March 17, 2020 the 129th Legislature of the State of Maine passed LD 2167, which is titled "An
Act To Implement Provision Necessary to the Health Welfare and Safety of the Citizens of Maine in
Response to the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency." LD 2167 was an emergency measure and
became effective immediately. Part of LD 2167 authorizes the "municipal officers," in our case the
City Council, to approve the renewal of licenses under Title 28-A, Part 3 without a public hearing.
Licenses under said Part 3 include liquor licenses and special amusement licenses.
This Order would grant the City Clerk the authority to sign those license renewals after the City
Council approves them.
