Complete·3/12/26

Maine LD2024 updates licensing laws for for-hire charter boat operators, lobster and crab fishing, and elver dealers.

Maine LD2024 amends licensing laws for marine resources. It removes outdated language on lobster and crab trap limits and eliminates a specific civil penalty for violating these limits. The bill also changes elver dealer licensing rules, allowing licenses to be issued to individuals using the same business address as a violator, but only after a certain period. This law affects for-hire charter boat operators, lobster and crab fishermen, and elver dealers by updating their licensing requirements and penalties.
