Maine LD1150 mandates reporting of sheltering or aiding missing children to law enforcement.

Maine LD1150 requires individuals who knowingly shelter or aid a missing child for more than a specified period without parental or custodial consent to inform a law enforcement officer about the child's location and condition. Failure to comply with this duty results in a civil penalty of up to $250. This law aims to ensure that law enforcement is promptly informed when a missing child is found, facilitating quicker reunification with their families.
