Maine LD1410 mandates due process for state, county, and local government entities when confiscating or destroying personal property of unhoused persons. It requires a hearing for property deemed abandoned, a threat to public health or safety, or evidence of a crime. If unhoused persons do not attend the hearing, their property must be stored securely for a minimum period, with notice provided. Exceptions apply if the property is on public property, the unhoused person is notified in advance, and offered a hearing.
