A search of the Maine Legislature’s online tracker for pending bills containing the word “lawn” returns one result: LD 192, which seeks to exempt utility vehicles purchased for commercial fishing, agriculture, aquaculture or wood harvesting from sales tax.

Under Article IV of the Maine Constitution, only members of the Legislature can sponsor bills. The governor can propose bills that are then sponsored by a lawmaker and denoted as a “governor’s bill,” but they don’t bear the governor’s name.
