An Act To Authorize The Penobscot Nation To Use Wild Game Harvested On The Penobscot Indian Territory At Food Venues Located Within The Penobscot Indian Territory

LD 1054 allows members of the Penobscot Nation who are Maine residents and have legally harvested deer, bear, moose, turkey, or wild birds on Penobscot Indian Territory to sell or use that game at specific food venues within the territory. These venues include eating establishments, lodging places, mobile food carts, and recreational camps located on tribal land. The bill creates an exception to state laws prohibiting the sale of wild game, requiring participants to follow all state and federal food safety regulations. It directly affects Penobscot Nation members and tribal food businesses operating within the Penobscot Indian Territory.
