LD138

Exempts airport property from state endangered and threatened species habitat protections.

This bill amends Maine law to exempt airports from certain state endangered and threatened species habitat protections. Specifically, it prevents the commissioner from identifying airport property for special management considerations or developing protection guidelines for those areas. Additionally, it prohibits state agencies and municipal governments from permitting, licensing, funding, or carrying out projects on airport property that significantly alter the habitat of endangered or threatened species.
