Maine Human Rights Commission adds counsel, funds reclass

Beginning July 1, 2025, the law names a Commission Counsel position in the Maine Human Rights Commission and removes an older paragraph B from its statute. One Public Service Coordinator III job is reclassified as a major policy‑influencing position. The state provides $2,976 for fiscal year 2025-26 and $10,447 for fiscal year 2026-27 to cover personal services for this change. These updates focus on Commission staffing and titles, not public benefits or fees.
