Amend the bill in section 1 by striking out all of subsection 5-A (page 1, lines 3 to 12 in L.D.) and inserting the following:
The commissioner shall record a transfer under this subsection and return the permit to the transferee. A valid permit must be in the possession of the transferee in order for the transferee to take an antlerless deer.’
SUMMARY
This amendment replaces the bill. It provides that an antlerless deer permit holder who is 18 years of age or older may transfer the antlerless deer permit to a person who holds a junior hunting license at least 48 hours prior to the time the person holding the junior hunting license hunts for antlerless deer. Once the antlerless deer permit is transferred, the transferor loses the right to take an antlerless deer under that permit but remains eligible, unless otherwise prohibited, to take an antlered deer in accordance with the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 12, Part 13.
