An Act to Amend Motor Vehicle Laws (2008)
Since the Loon Conservation Plate program was established in 1993, $14 million has been invested in conservation, wildlife habitat, and park programs through the Departments of Conservation and Inland Fisheries & Wildlife. In 2007, 63,000 Mainers participated in this popular program. LD 2075 was amended by the Transportation Committee to divert $1 from all specialty plate funds to the Department of Transportation for management of the program. This would have resulted in taking much-needed money from conservation efforts.
