Staff now approve licenses, screen complaints
Maine’s licensing office can let staff review and approve license applications. The office sets the review rules by regulation, and these are routine technical rules. Staff can also decide if a pending complaint is about something the office or its boards cannot enforce. This moves some decisions from boards and commissions to staff.
