Consumer Rights under the Maine Unfair Trade Practices Act"

summary and inserting the following: 
'Sec. 1. 5 MRS A §208, sub-§l, as enacted by PL 1969, c. 577, §1, is amended to

1. Regulatory boards. Transactions or actions otherwise permitted under laws as 
administered by any regulatory board or officer acting under statutory authority of the 
State or of the United Statest-ef. This exception applies only ifthe defendant shows that: 
A. Its business activities are subject to regulation by a state or federal agency; and 
B. The specific activity that would otherwise constitute a violation of this chapter is 
authorized, pemlitted or required by a state or federal agency or by applicable law, 
rule or regulation or other regulatory approval.'

This amendment replaces the bill, which exempts from application of the law actions 
expressly permitted. The amendment establishes a 2-step analysis to determine if a 
defendant's transactions or actions are excepted from the application of the Maine Unfair 
Trade Practices Act. First, the defendant must show that its business activities are subject 
to regulation by a state or federal agency. If the defendant satisfies the first step, then the 
defendant must show that the specific activity that is the focus of the inquiry is 
authorized, permitted or required by a state or federal agency or by applicable law, rule or 
regulation, or that other regulatory approval, which may be less formal than law, rule or 
regulation, authorizes, permits or requires the specific activity.

An Act To Require Alien Big Game Hunters To Be Accompanied by a Guide
Maine Legislature, Session 123, LD 0098
Committee Amendment CA_A_H159 (House)

COMMITTEE AMENDMENT "A" to H.P. 90, L.D. 98, Bill, "An Act To Require 
Alien Big Game Hunters To Be Accompanied by a Guide" 
Amend the bill by striking out everything after the enacting clause and before the 
summary and inserting the following: 
'Sec. 1. 12 MRS A §11224 is enacted to read: 
§11224. Alien big game hunter; guide required 
An alien may not hunt moose, deer or bear without being accompanied by a person 
who holds a valid guide license pursuant to chapter 927 authorizing that person to act as a 
hunting guide. 
1. Civil violation. A person who violates this section commits a civil violation for 
which a fine of not less than $100 nor more than $500 may be adjudged. 
2. Class E crime. A person who violates this section after having been adjudicated 
as having committed 3 or more civil violations under this Part within the previous 5-year 
period commits a Class E crime.' 
SUMMARY 
This amendment replaces the bill and is similar in requiring a person who is not a 
citizen of the United States to be accompanied by a licensed guide but specifically applies 
to hunting moose, deer or bear. The amendment also provides penalties for violations of 
the provision.
