Maine LD1463 prohibits the auctioning of state surplus or forfeited firearms and mandates their destruction.

Maine LD1463 amends existing law to prohibit the auctioning of surplus or forfeited firearms by the state. The bill mandates that all such firearms be destroyed, except for those assigned to a state employee as part of their official duties, which may be purchased by the employee upon leaving employment. The Director of the Bureau of General Services within the Department of Administrative and Financial Services, with the approval of the Commissioner of Administrative and Financial Services and the Commissioner of Public Safety, must update relevant rules to reflect these changes.
