Maine LD379 protects confidential information in forest fire emergency plans from public records requests.

Maine LD379 amends the law to ensure that emergency plans of action formulated by the Department of Agriculture, Conservation, and Forestry remain confidential and exempt from public records requests. This includes personal contact information, access details to gates, locks, or roads, proprietary information of landowners, and emergency response information. The director may share this confidential information with another state agency for forest fire preparedness and planning purposes.
