ME LD2150

State entities may restrict a person's access to state property, state services, or communication with the entity for a maximum of 90 days, and must provide written notice including the factual basis for the restriction

Extensions beyond 90 days require the Department of Public Safety, Bureau of State Police to file a protection from harassment complaint in court on behalf of the state entity, presenting evidence of the original restriction and its justification

"Entity of the State" includes any state office, department, agency, authority, commission, board, institution, hospital, or other instrumentality

Courts must prioritize other protection from harassment complaints over those filed by state entities seeking to extend access restrictions

Designated as emergency legislation due to anticipated increase in protests on state properties and Bureau of Capitol Police concerns about lack of statutory guidance; takes effect immediately upon approval
