An Act To Allow a Moose Permit To Be Transferred to a Family Member
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows:
Sec. 1.  12 MRSA §11154, sub-§15  is enacted to read:
 
15.  Moose permit transfer; family members.     The commissioner, in cases involving exceptional extenuating circumstances as determined by the commissioner, may authorize a person who holds a valid moose permit to transfer that permit to a family member who meets the eligibility and permit requirements under this section and who is not otherwise prohibited from holding the moose permit. A transferor and a transferee are subject to the elimination of any accumulated points under subsection 8 and the 3-year ineligibility period under subsection 5. For purposes of this subsection, “family member” means the transferor’s spouse, child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, grandparent, stepparent, brother, sister, half-sister, half-brother or adopted child.
 
The commissioner shall adopt rules to implement this subsection and may establish a transfer fee to recover administrative costs associated with transferring moose permits. Rules adopted pursuant to this subsection are routine technical rules as defined in Title 5, chapter 375, subchapter 2-A.
 
Effective 90 days following adjournment of the 127th Legislature, First Regular Session, unless otherwise indicated.
