Maine Agricultural Liming Materials Act
Maine · Extension Work With State University · §§ 761 to 770 · 11 sections
Overview
This act regulates the sale and distribution of agricultural liming materials — the products applied to soil to correct acidity — placing their oversight with a designated enforcing agency. It requires that such materials be registered and labeled according to defined terms, prohibits noncompliant sales, and funds oversight through registration and inspection fees. Compliance is verified by official sampling and analysis, with penalties and monetary assessments where a product is found deficient, and the enforcing agency is authorized to issue rules, publish findings, and delegate its duties.
