Failed·6/12/25
Tpdf Text

Maine LD998 modifies employer's authority to prohibit storing firearms in employee vehicles.

Maine LD998 amends the law to allow employees with a valid concealed carry permit to store firearms in their locked vehicles, even on state property, provided the firearm is not visible. This change removes the requirement for a valid permit to store a firearm in the vehicle. The law still prohibits carrying firearms where prohibited by other statutes.
