LD 1104 Maine House · 132nd Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act To Limit The Liability Of Persons Who Provide Firearm Hold Agreements

This bill (LD 1104) provides legal immunity to individuals who temporarily hold firearms for others under a written or oral "firearm hold agreement" when returning the firearm to the owner at the end of the agreement. It directly affects people who agree to store firearms for friends, family, or others (e.g., for safekeeping during travel or events). The key provision states that holders cannot be sued for returning the firearm as agreed, unless their conduct was already unlawful. The bill does not change firearm ownership laws or create new restrictions, only limiting liability for the return process itself.
