Item 2
Bill Tracking Chamber Status

Amend the bill by striking out everything after the enacting clause and before the summary and inserting the following:

Sec. 1. 12 MRSA §11224  is enacted to read:

§ 11224 Alien big game hunter; guide required

An alien may not hunt moose, deer or bear without being accompanied by a person who holds a valid guide license pursuant to chapter 927 authorizing that person to act as a hunting guide.

1 Civil violation.   A person who violates this section commits a civil violation for which a fine of not less than $100 nor more than $500 may be adjudged.
2 Class E crime.   A person who violates this section after having been adjudicated as having committed 3 or more civil violations under this Part within the previous 5-year period commits a Class E crime.

summary

This amendment replaces the bill and is similar in requiring a person who is not a citizen of the United States to be accompanied by a licensed guide but specifically applies to hunting moose, deer or bear. The amendment also provides penalties for violations of the provision.
