Maine Revised Statutes Title 14. Court Procedure--Civil § 5605. Community service work for a person who violates a municipal ordinance

1. Community service work. The court may order a person adjudicated as having violated a municipal ordinance to perform a specific number of hours of community service work for the benefit of the State, a county, a municipality, a school administrative district or other public entity, a charitable institution or other entity approved by the court if the municipality whose ordinance is violated has a community service work program that provides oversight of the community service order and ensures meaningful compliance with the community service requirements.

2. Failure to perform work. An adjudicated person who is ordered to perform community service work pursuant to subsection 1 and who fails to complete the work within the time specified by the court must be returned to the court for further disposition.

3. Supervision. Neither the judicial branch nor the Department of Corrections is responsible for supervision of community service work pursuant to this section.
