An Act To Repeal The Law Prohibiting Unauthorized Paramilitary Training
LD 303 would repeal Maine's law prohibiting unauthorized paramilitary training. This repeal removes the existing legal restriction, meaning conducting such training without authorization would no longer be prohibited under this specific statute. The bill does not alter other laws that may regulate paramilitary activities. As a result, individuals and groups engaging in paramilitary training would no longer be subject to this particular prohibition.
