| The bill removes the office directors within the Department of |
| Economic and Community Development as major policy-influencing |
| positions and adds that the Director of the Office of Innovation |
| serves as the State Science Advisor. It removes a representative |
| from the department as a nonvoting member from the allocation |
| committee for determining the private activity bond ceiling. It |
| also establishes the Small Enterprise Growth Board as a corporate |
| entity. Finally, the bill repeals the language requiring the |
| department to develop and implement a marketing campaign to attract |
| and retain youth in Maine. |
