Amend the bill by striking out everything after the enacting clause and before the summary and inserting the following:
‘Sec. 1. 12 MRSA §10657 is enacted to read:
§ 10657. Civil trespass
summary
This amendment replaces the term "foreign object" with the term "projectile," which is similar to the concept used in Florida statutes to cover instances of trespass. "Projectile" means a bullet, pellet, shot, shell, ball, arrow, bolt or other object propelled or launched from any firearm or a bow, crossbow or similar tensile device.
This amendment makes the new violation consistent with the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 12, Part 13 standard that a civil violation becomes a Class E crime if there are at least 3 prior adjudications of civil violations under that Part.
This amendment deletes the section of the bill that made the commission of the new civil violation of civil trespass grounds for mandatory revocation of a hunting or fishing license or permit.
