The Maine Legislature's Inland Fisheries and Wildlife Committee will be hearing testimony at 1 p.m. Monday, Feb. 13, on a bill that is meant to help prevent the spread of invasive aquatic plants.
LD 92, titled "An Act to Minimize the Propagation of Invasive Aquatic Plants," would require that boat drain plugs be removed before vessels are transported overland. New Hampshire, Vermont and New York (along with 12 other states) require that boats be drained before being transported.
