Maine state laws include billboard bans and blue laws
Maine maintains a variety of specific and sometimes obscure state laws that govern daily life. The Maine State Legislature introduces new statutes annually, many of which may go unnoticed by the general public until specific situations arise.
Notable regulations include the state's ban on large billboards along highways and the continued enforcement of blue laws, such as requirements for large stores to close on holidays and a prohibition on Sunday hunting. Additionally, Maine has strict waste disposal regulations that prohibit certain items, such as batteries, big screen televisions, and old medications, from being thrown into regular trash.
