Bill > LD988

This bill modifies Maine state law to explicitly allow hunting on University of Maine System property, with two key restrictions: hunting is prohibited in residential areas and on campuses. Specifically, the bill creates a new section (§11112) in the state's hunting regulations that permits individuals who possess a valid hunting license to hunt on University of Maine System lands, while ensuring that residential zones and campus grounds remain off-limits for hunting activities. This change effectively expands potential hunting areas for licensed hunters while maintaining safety considerations by excluding densely populated or developed university locations. The bill represents a straightforward modification to existing hunting regulations, providing clear guidelines for hunting on university-owned property throughout the state of Maine.
