June 2, 2009 -- AUGUSTA – Maine Governor John E. Baldacci today ceremonially signed LD 389, “An Act to Facilitate the State's Existing Commitment to the Production of Liquid Biofuels.” Representative Steven Butterfield (D-Bangor), sponsor of the legislation, attended today’s bill signing.
The bill continues the State’s efforts to encourage the development and use of sustainable biofuels through the existing tool of the Clean Fuel Vehicle Fund. In addition, the Secretary of State may develop and administer an online, voluntary way for people to contribute to the Fund.
“We are proud of the role Maine has taken in pursuing clean, renewable energy,” said Governor Baldacci. “My Administration has been working to ensure that we build strong public-private partnerships to expand home-grown energy, including biofuels.”
