State House staff have published the final list of legislative proposals that state lawmakers will consider during the 132nd Legislature, a whopping 4,256 bills — most of which are certain to die a quick death.

The pile of nascent legislative bills and resolves includes 394 bills related to taxes and 115 bills related to energy, with 29 concerning solar, seven on wind power, and nine having to do with nuclear power. Forty-nine of the bills would change Maine’s election laws or practices, while 88 bills relate to Maine’s adult-use or medicinal cannabis programs.

The full text of the bills is not yet online but will become available on a rolling basis over the next few weeks. For now, however, the steaming pile of representative government gives Maine politics watchers a sense of where the legislative session is heading.

Here are the lists published Friday by the Revisor’s Office. If you’d like to share information with the Maine Wire about any of these proposals, you can always drop us an email at [email protected].
