The Maine Legislature is the legislative body of the state of Maine, responsible for making laws and setting policies. It consists of two chambers: the Maine House of Representatives and the Maine Senate. Together, these chambers work to address issues affecting the state and its residents. The Legislature meets annually in Augusta, the state capital, where it debates and votes on proposed legislation. Members of the House serve two-year terms, while Senators serve four-year terms. The Governor of Maine can also influence legislation by proposing bills and signing or vetoing laws passed by the Legislature.
