LD666 - Domestic Violence Intervention Program Funding Act
Summary
Maine's LD666 passed on April 13, 2026, establishing funding requirements for court-ordered certified domestic violence intervention programs. The bill, sponsored by Representatives Gattine, Hasenfus, and Milliken among others, passed the House 133-10 and received Senate concurrence for enactment. The legislation amends existing corrections procedures to ensure adequate state funding support for certified domestic violence intervention programs ordered by courts.
What changed
LD666 enacts a new law requiring the State of Maine to provide adequate funding support for court-ordered certified domestic violence intervention programs. The bill, which underwent amendment through Committee Amendment A (H-170) and Senate Amendment A (S-671), modifies existing corrections procedures to mandate state financial support for these certified intervention programs.
Affected parties including the Maine Department of Corrections, courts ordering defendants into intervention programs, and certified domestic violence intervention program providers should monitor for implementing regulations and funding allocation determinations. Program providers must ensure continued compliance with certification requirements to remain eligible for state funding under the new mandate.
What to do next
- Monitor for implementing regulations from Maine Department of Corrections
- Ensure court-ordered domestic violence intervention programs maintain certification compliance
