Bill Summary

This bill allows hunting on University of Maine System property except for residential areas or campuses.

AI Summary

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.
