An Act To Allow Hunting On University Of Maine System Property

LD 988 allows licensed hunters to hunt on University of Maine System (UMS) property, excluding residential areas and university campuses. The bill amends Maine law to explicitly permit hunting under existing hunting regulations, removing prior restrictions on UMS land. This directly affects licensed hunters seeking access to UMS property for hunting and the University of Maine System, which must manage these areas accordingly. The key provision is the statutory change enabling hunting where it was previously unclear under existing law, with clear exceptions for campus and residential zones.
