Our Legislative Programs
Each Legislative Session in Augusta, MAR monitors legislation, lobbies for and against numerous
bills that may impact our members, and we also work with Legislative sponsors to introduce bills that will advance our MAR mission.
Our most effective lobby in Augusta are MAR members. Please take a few minutes of your time
and contact your Representative or Senator
"Under the Dome" – What’s Happening in Augusta
The Legislative program of MAR focuses on increasing the State’s share of retired teachers’ health insurance, expanding Maine’s income tax pension exemption, protecting retiree health insurance and retirement benefits, and improving services for public and other retirees.
MAR officers and staff are actively involved in the legislative arena - testifying at public hearings, attending work sessions, tracking bills and advocating for legislation that benefits MAR members.
Know your Legislators and Congressional Delegation
It is important for all MAR Members to know who their state Representative and State Senators is ---- and it is especially important to know how to contact them!
P.S. Whenever you do contact your Reps in Augusta – please let then know that you are an active Maine Association of Retirees member – and remind them that MAR is made up of more than 15,000 active members statewide, just like you.
