An Act To Allow Persons To Label Their Wild Animal Traps With Their Online Identification Number Issued By The Department Of Inland Fisheries And Wildlife

LD 6 allows trappers in Maine to label wild animal traps using an online identification number from the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife instead of providing their full name and address. This amendment to Maine law (12 MRSA §12254) replaces the current requirement for personal details with a unique online ID issued through the department's licensing system. The change directly affects all individuals setting traps for wild animals, including hunters and trappers who must comply with state trapping regulations. It simplifies labeling while maintaining accountability by ensuring traps can still be traced to the trapper through the department's system.
