Bill > LD6

This bill modifies existing Maine law regarding wild animal trapping by allowing trappers to label their traps with either their full name and address or an online identification number issued by the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, instead of requiring only full name and address as previously mandated. The change provides trappers with an alternative method of identifying their traps that may be more convenient and potentially protect their personal privacy by using a department-issued identification number instead of their home address. The modification is relatively simple but offers trappers more flexibility in how they mark their traps while still ensuring that each trap can be traced back to its owner, which is important for wildlife management, safety, and accountability purposes.
