SUMMARY
This amendment, which is the minority report of the committee, provides that rules and policies of the Board of Trustees of the University of Maine System, the Board of Trustees of the Maine Community College System and the Board of Trustees of the Maine Maritime Academy may not regulate or prohibit the otherwise lawful possession, carrying or transporting of a firearm by a person who has been issued a permit to carry a concealed handgun.
