An Act To Establish A Senior Retiree Lobster License

This bill creates a new "senior retiree lobster and crab fishing license" for Maine residents aged 65+ who previously held a commercial license for 3+ consecutive years and lived in Maine for 10+ years. It allows license holders to fish with a maximum of 100 traps between May 1 and December 1 annually, with a $60 annual fee. The license specifically authorizes taking, selling, and transporting lobsters but prohibits removing meat from shells or using traps outside designated zones. It directly affects qualifying retired commercial lobster fishermen by providing a simplified, lower-cost fishing option with seasonal and trap-count restrictions.
