| Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows: |
|
| | Sec. 1. 12 MRSA §7377, sub-§1, ¶¶C and D, as enacted by PL 1979, c. 420, | §1, are amended to read: |
|
| C. Which is used exclusively for agricultural purposes open | to hunting; and |
|
| D. Which is in excess of 10 25 acres. |
|
| | Current law allows a person to hunt without a license on that | person's own parcel of land if the parcel is larger than 10 | acres, the person lives on the land and the land is used | primarily for agricultural purposes. This bill increases the | minimum parcel size to 25 acres and repeals the limitation to | only agricultural land. The bill also requires that the parcel | be open to hunting in order for the landowner to be able to hunt | on that parcel without a license. |
