An Act to Amend the Laws Governing Commercial Shooting Area Hunting Licenses
Emergency preamble. Whereas, Acts of the Legislature do not become effective until 90 days after adjournment unless enacted as emergencies; and
Whereas, commercial shooting areas are heavily used throughout the summer months; and
Whereas, this legislation allows for reduced fees for one-day and 3-day licenses that could be used throughout the summer months; and
Whereas, in the judgment of the Legislature, these facts create an emergency within the meaning of the Constitution of Maine and require the following legislation as immediately necessary for the preservation of the public peace, health and safety; now, therefore,
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows:
Sec. 1. 12 MRSA §7105, sub-§2, as amended by PL 1993, c. 574, §10, is repealed.

2-A. Fees. The fees for special commercial shooting area hunting licenses are as follows:
A. The fee for a 24-hour license is $5.00. This amount must be credited against the annual fee if the licensee applies for an annual license in the same year; and
B. The fee for an annual special commercial shooting area hunting license is $19.
The commissioner may waive the requirement for a special commercial shooting area hunting license for a person who completes a safe hunter course.
Emergency clause. In view of the emergency cited in the preamble, this Act takes effect when approved.
Effective May 25, 1999.
