SUMMARY

 
This bill requires that all employees of school administrative
units in Maine be paid at least a livable wage rate, which means
an amount sufficient to meet the costs of the basic necessities
of life. The bill also establishes a method for future periodic
updating of the livable wage amount and outlines procedures for
the distribution of targeted funds to ensure that no public
school employee in Maine will be paid at a wage rate that is
insufficient to meet the costs of the basic necessities of life.
