Bill > LD2054

This bill modifies Maine's moose hunting permit regulations by implementing two key changes: First, it prohibits hunting outfitters from deferring moose hunting permits under any circumstances, specifically removing previous provisions that might have allowed deferments due to significant medical illness or multiple household permit holdings. Second, the bill explicitly prevents recipients of moose permits from selling their subpermittee or alternate subpermittee designations, which means hunters cannot transfer or sell their specific permit rights to another person. These changes are being made to Title 12 of the Maine Revised Statutes Annotated (MRSA), Section 11154, which governs moose hunting permits, and aim to create more clarity and standardization in the allocation and use of moose hunting permits in the state.
