An Act To Establish Procedures For Restricting Access To State Property, Access To State Services And Communication With Or Through State Entities

Summary

The law requires any Maine state entity to give a written notice that explains the factual basis for denying a person access to state property, services, or communication, and caps such restrictions at 90 days. To extend a restriction beyond 90 days, the entity must file a protection‑from‑harassment complaint through the Department of Public Safety, Bureau of State Police, and provide the original notice and its justification to a court, which will give priority to unrelated harassment complaints. The measure also amends existing harassment statutes and clarifies where and how related lawsuits can be filed.
