LD 1958 Maine Senate · 132nd Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act To Ensure Due Process For Recipients Of No Trespass Orders On Certain State Properties

This bill ensures fair procedures for people who receive "no trespass" orders on state properties where the public accesses services (like state offices). It requires the order to state a specific reason (harassment of state staff or refusing to leave 3+ times in a month) and gives the person 14 days to challenge it. If challenged, courts must schedule a hearing within 7 days and apply the same due process rules used for protection-from-abuse orders. The law applies only to state properties where people reasonably expect access, not all public lands.
