Pouliot serves on the Legislature's Education and Cultural Affairs Committee, where he has introduced several bills, passing measures to advance financial literacy in Maine's high school curriculum[3] and allow municipalities to prohibit sex offenders from living within 750 feet of a recreational area.[4]
