Joint Order, to Recall from the Governor's Desk to the House L.D. 1389, An Act to Create the Building Opportunity Through Out-of-school Time Program
Summary
HP1330 is a joint order directing that L.D. 1389, titled "An Act to Create the Building Opportunity Through Out-of-school Time Program," be recalled from the Governor's desk back to the House, along with all accompanying papers. The text of HP1330 does not itself create the out-of-school time program or amend substantive law; instead, it is a procedural measure used to retrieve a bill after it has been sent to the Governor.
Because HP1330 is a recall order rather than the underlying policy bill, its immediate effect is limited to legislative procedure. If adopted, it would reopen House consideration of L.D. 1389 and allow further action on the underlying program proposal. The referenced underlying bill appears aimed at creating a state program related to after-school or out-of-school time services, which would likely affect education, youth programming, and related funding or administrative structures if ultimately enacted.
Impact
HP1330 would not directly change Maine statutes on its own. Its legal effect is procedural: it authorizes the Legislature to reclaim L.D. 1389 from the Governor's desk so the House can reconsider the bill. Any substantive impact on state law would come only from the underlying act, which is identified as a proposal to create the Building Opportunity Through Out-of-school Time Program.
Sentiment
There is no recorded committee transcript or vote history provided for HP1330, so the available materials do not show explicit support or opposition. The bill's existence suggests at least some legislative interest in reopening consideration of the underlying out-of-school time program measure, but the sentiment cannot be reliably characterized beyond that procedural intent.
Contention
No specific points of contention are documented in the provided materials. Because HP1330 is only a recall order, any substantive disagreement would likely concern the underlying L.D. 1389 proposal rather than the recall mechanism itself. Without transcripts or votes, it is not possible to identify which lawmakers or stakeholder groups supported or opposed the measure, or what policy issues were disputed.
Create the building opportunity through out-of-school time program and the building opportunity through out-of-school time program fund, authorize a new fee, make an appropriation therefor, and transfer moneys to the building opportunity through out-of-school time program fund.
