Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows:

13. Hunting adventure permits for children. Notwithstanding subsection 6, the
commissioner may issue 2 5 moose permits to a nonprofit organization or organizations
dedicated to providing hunting and fishing adventures to children under 21 years of age
with life-threatening, critical or terminal illnesses. At least 3 of the permits issued under
this subsection must be issued to an eligible nonprofit organization based in the State, and
a child who receives a permit from that organization must be a resident. The commissioner
may issue these permits upon written request by an eligible nonprofit organization or
