Also relevant to:Tribal / Indigenous

Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill proposes to prohibit the State of Maine from using eminent domain to take land within the Passamaquoddy Indian territory and the Penobscot Indian territory for public uses. It amends existing law that currently allows such takings under certain conditions, including a finding of no feasible alternative and providing substitute land or monetary compensation to the affected tribe or allottees. If passed, this bill would prevent the state from seizing tribal lands, affecting the Passamaquoddy Tribe and Penobscot Nation.
